A BRONZE FIGURE OF SIMHANADA AVALOKITESHVARA, THE LION VOICED LORD, MING DYNASTY

China, 1368-1644. Heavily cast, seated in lalitasana upon a recumbent Buddhist lion supported on a lotus base, both hands resting on the knees. The finely pleated robes fall in deep folds between the legs, with flowing scarves looping around the arms and elaborate beaded jewelry adorning the chest. The serene face is finely modeled with heavy-lidded, downcast eyes, a slender nose, and gently smiling lips, framed by elongated earlobes with ornate earrings. The neatly arranged hair is secured by a tall openwork tiara centered by a seated bodhisattva.

Provenance: From an old private collection in Milan, Italy, acquired in the 1930s, and thence by descent in the family. A private collection in Sweden, acquired from the above.
Condition: Good condition with expected wear, casting irregularities, losses, traces of weathering, light warping, a minute chip to the crown, few old fills, remnants of lacquer gilding. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina with malachite encrustations to the back of the base.

Weight: 1.9 kg
Dimensions: Height 24.3 cm

In this form, the Bodhisattva of Perfected Compassion, Avalokiteshvara, can be invoked to cure illness. His iconography is derived from the Mahayana Avatamsaka Sutra. He is depicted in the posture of royal ease and wears an ornate headdress with a seated image of Amitabha Buddha – a reference to Avalokiteshvara as an emanation of the Buddha Amitabha. His right arm rests on the knee while the left hand supports the weight of his body. He rides on a lion that turns upward and gazes at the Bodhisattva attentively.

The unknown artist created the body language of the God of Mercy as introvert and meditative. Even the flamboyant garment and floating sashes seem not to distract the bodhisattva neither the worshipper from its sole goal to extend and to receive the blessings of the god. A bodhisattva is actually a being who achieved Enlightenment, but out of compassion, will not enter Nirvana or total extinction of the self, being the ultimate goal of all Buddhists, until every living creature has been brought along this path of Enlightenment.
