GANDHARAN SCHIST FIGURE OF PENSIVE BODHISATTVA AVALOKITESHVARA

Item Details

Description

Ca. 200-300 AD. A grey schist carved portraying a Bodhisattva, most likely the revered Avalokiteshvara. This figure is depicted in the posture known as "Royal Ease," characterized by the left leg gracefully resting atop a column adorned with an ornate capital, while the right leg remains obscured from view. The Bodhisattva's presence is further accentuated as he is seated upon a cushioned throne, adorned in draped dhoti and an elegantly-draped shawl, exuding an air of regal composure. Muscular contours of his form are enhanced by the weighty necklaces that adorn his torso and the bracelets encircling his wrists, invoking a sense of opulence. Notably, the composition accentuates the eloquent gesture of the index finger of the Bodhisattva's right hand, gently poised against his head. This evocative posture speaks to the profound contemplative nature of Avalokiteshvara, a Bodhisattva revered for his compassion and his vow to aid sentient beings in their quest for enlightenment. The significance of the pensive pose lies in its encapsulation of deep introspection, symbolic of the Bodhisattva's unwavering commitment to alleviating the suffering of all beings. This posture aligns with the Bodhisattva's role as a compassionate deity, embodying the ideal of enlightened compassion and acting as a divine guide for those traversing the path to enlightenment. Avalokiteshvara, central to Mahayana Buddhist devotion, is celebrated as the embodiment of boundless compassion, a patron of mercy, and a paragon of spiritual virtues. His multifaceted nature is reflected in the elaborate adornments that embellish his form, from the ornate turban that crowns his head to the delicate finery of his jewelry. This representation, with its nuanced facial features – from the half-closed eyes that denote meditation to the serene yet pensive countenance – captures the Bodhisattva's quintessential character, inviting devotees to contemplate both the compassionate heart and the profound wisdom intrinsic to his nature. Cf. Yousef Jameel Centre, Ashmolean Museum, Accession no.EAOS.26.c. Size: L:720mm / W:295mm ; 41.4kg Provenance: Property of an Oxfordshire art professional; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets.
