A Chinese Gilt-Bronze Avalokiteshvara Statue *From Henry Charles Boton's Private Collection Very finely cast standing in tribhanga holding a lotus stalk and with the right hand lowered in the gesture of compassion, wearing a long flowing dhoti secured with a billowing sash, a beaded 'magic thread' and foliate tiara, the face slightly tilted in a benign expression, with a smooth deep brown patina overall and traces of gilding on the reverse.
