Standing Bodhisattva

CHINA; Song dynasty (960–1279); Wood; H: 178 cm; National Museum of China, Beijing
The Bodhisattva stands on a plain pedestal with the left foot extended forward so the body inclines to the right. The hair is formed on a frame into a high and elaborate topknot. The face is broad and the body well fleshed. The figure wears a neck collar over the bared torso and a number of decorative stoles are draped about the body. The long skirt is turned over at the top, and the details of its folds and furbelows are depicted with care. The statue was originally painted but little of the color remains.
