Chinese Tibetan Ming Dynasty gilt bronze Bodhisattva Buddha figure of Shristhikantha, Rakta Lokeshvara, the Red Lord of the World, a meditational form of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, Guanyin. With downcast eyes under delicately arched brows, with the face slightly smiling, peaceful in appearance, she has one face with the hair piled on the top of the head with long black tresses falling across the shoulders. The right hand is extended downward in the mudra of supreme generosity with the palm facing outward. The left hand holds the stem of a pink lotus flower blossoming over the shoulder. Adorned with a crown of gold and a small image of the buddha Amitabha, jewel ornaments, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and anklets, she wears a long scarf and a deerskin across the left shoulder. The lower body is garbed in brocade skirt. The figure standing atop a moon disc and lotus pedestal in form of paryankasana-virasana, stands with her weight on her right leg and her left turned out, causing her hip to sway to the right, depicting the compassion of past, present and future Buddha's. Bronze is in beautiful condition with minimal marring of the surface. Resplendent quality due to extensive trace of gilt on surface, with hints of dark-blue pigment on hair. The underside revealed the separation of the Buddha and the throne. Surface wear to gilding and trace of lacquered overall, Light tarnish covers the surface while still giving off a soft glow as the light hits the exterior.
