Seated Bodhisattva
CHINA; Yuan dynasty (1271–1368); Dry lacquer; H: 58.3 cm; Freer Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., USA |
| The image was sculpted in the Nepalese style, which was popular during the Yuan dynasty. The Bodhisattva sits loosely cross-legged, with elegant fingers positioned in the lotus mudra. The plaited hair is rolled into a topknot, and the long earlobes are hollowed. The head and the body are tilted into a graceful curve. The figure is richly adorned with jewelry and was once painted and gilded. The smoothness of the body was achieved through skillful use of the dry lacquer technique. |
