Overview

The Many Manifestations of Avalokiteshvara

Bodies of Infinite Light, an auction of Buddhist art spanning the Northern and Southern dynasties to the Qing dynasty, includes an exceptional polychrome wood figure of Jinasagara Avalokiteshvara from the Xuande period, a finely embroidered silk Qing dynasty thangka of Ekadashamukha Avalokiteshvara and rare bronzes from the Dali Kingdom, among other works.
