H: 43CM L: 31CM W: 20CM The Bhodisattva rides on a giant lion rested on double-lotus pedestal, the arms raised in dharmachakra mudra to the chest, holding two stalks of uptala lotuses rising up the shoulders and supporting a khadga and pustaka, the gracefully swaying figure wearing a dhoti falling into elegant pleats, draped with a celestial sash around the shoulders and arms, the chest and the waist adorned by elaborate beaded necklaces, the face set with a serene and benevolent expression, with wheel-shaped earrings attached to the pendulous earlobes.
