A BRONZE FIGURE OF THE WILLOW-BRANCH GUANYIN, BHAISAJYARAJA AVALOKITESHVARA, DALI KINGDOM
China, Yunnan Province, 11th-12th century. Superbly cast standing on a double-lotus pedestal with beaded lower edge and foliage sprouting from the sides, her right hand raised holding a willow branch. She is richly adorned with an elaborate necklace and further beaded jewelry. Her serene face shows heavy-lidded eyes below gently arched brows, above full lips forming a calm smile. Her hair is pulled up into a high chignon behind the foliate tiara and falling elegantly in braided strands over the shoulders.

Provenance: From the Collection R., Paris, France.
Condition: The figure was broken in two pieces which have been reassembled, the hollow interior was reinforced accordingly, and the inside of the base has been resealed. Expected casting flaws, minor nicks and cracks, obvious losses, remnants of ancient gilt. The bronze is covered in a rich, naturally grown patina with distinct malachite and cuprite encrustations.

Weight: 3,148 g
Dimensions: Height 35.3 cm

Created in the Dali Kingdom (937-1253), this sculpture and its congeners date to the late eleventh or early twelfth century. An independent, devoutly Buddhist kingdom in southwestern China, Dali was coeval with China’s Song dynasty (907-1279) and more or less congruent with present-day Yunnan province. After the 902 fall of Nanzhao, an independent kingdom in southern China, and following the rapid rise and collapse of three successive states in the area, Duan Siping (893-944) seized power in 937 and established the dynastic Dali Kingdom. Unlike Nanzhao, which had had a contentious relationship with the Tang dynasty (618-907), Dali enjoyed cordial relations with the Song, which facilitated artistic and cultural exchange. Duan Siping, his heirs, and the people of Dali claimed to be ethnically Han Chinese, which facilitated relations with Song and which underlies the belief that Dali is a Chinese kingdom.

In Chinese rather than in Indian iconographic conventions, images of Guanyin holding a willow branch and a vase are often termed Yangliu Guanyin, or Willow-Branch Guanyin. Images of the Willow-Branch Guanyin from the Dali Kingdom are sometimes also called Bhaisajyaraja Avalokiteshvara, a Sanskrit name that translates into Chinese as Yaowang, or Medicine King, a reference to the healing powers of the willow branch. Such images first appeared in the late 6th century, during the Sui dynasty (581-618), typically in gilt bronze. Thease early images established a typology that would be followed in later periods, particularly in the Dali Kingdom.

The Sanskrit name Guanshiyin translates to ‘[The One Who] Perceives the Sounds of the World,’ a reference to Guanyin’s ability to hear both the cries of the afflicted and the prayers of supplicants. An earthly manifestation of the Buddha Amitabha, Guanyin guards the world during the interval between the departure of the Historical Buddha Shakyamuni and the appearance of Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future. Chapter 25, Guanshiyin Pusa Pumenpin, of the Lotus Sutra, the best-known of all Buddhist scriptures, describes Guanyin as a compassionate bodhisattva who hears the cries of sentient beings and who works tirelessly to help all those who call upon his name.
