Standing Bodhisattva

CHINA; Tang dynasty (618–907); Wood; H: 96.8 cm; Lushun Museum, Dalian, Liaoning, China
The Bodhisattva stands on a lotus pedestal that rests on an inverted lotus. The hair is piled behind an elaborate headpiece from which braids fall to the shoulders. The figure wears a double stranded necklace and a knotted stole over the bared torso, while another stole winds about the left arm and loops across the knotted skirt. One end of stole is grasped by the left hand, while the right hand is raised in lotus mudra. A tribhanga posture reminiscent of Tang dynasty (618–907) female figures is imparted to the body.
