This elegantly cast figure of Avalokiteshvara is one of the smaller and more typical in contrast to the larger figure of Avalokiteshvara in this exhibition, cat. no. 9. The figure is depicted standing in tribhanga, adorned in a long dhoti and fluttering scarves. The slim features and elegantly curved posture are representative of the artistic style of the high Tang.
