A RARE PAIR OF MONUMENTAL PAINTED STUCCO FIGURES OF BODHISATTVAS YUAN-MING DYNASTY, 13TH-14TH CENTURY Each figure is a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, shown standing on a lotus base with head framed within a halo and hands held before the body in amida mudra. One figure wears a green scarf draped over the shoulders and then looped over the forearms before trailing down the sides of a long, red skirt with striped borders that is belted at the waist and tied around the hips with a scarf decorated with flower sprigs. The other also wears a long, green celestial scarf as well as a red robe draped over the left shoulder and worn over an ochre skirt with black and white striped borders, and each wears a pleated green underskirt just visible above the feet, as well as bracelets and a foliate necklace that spans the chest. The delicate facial features are set in a serene expression enhanced by the smooth, white pigment of the skin and set off by the blue pigment of the hair which is worn in a topknot hidden behind the gilded foliate crown centered with a figure of Amitabha Buddha. 85 in. (2.16 m.) high, wood stands
