晚清 銅加彩菩薩立像

painted in bright pigments, with hands held at chest level, one holding a flower stem, dressed in a long skirt and overskirt with chased floral borders, adorned with jewelry and fluttering scarves, the round face with bright eyes and sweet expression, beneath hair pulled into a tall chignon fronted by foliate scroll, all supported on a separate lotus base (2)

The pigments are worn overall with numerous areas of overpainting. In some areas, the underlying metal is exposed. There is loss to the inlay and possibly to the petals on the stalk in the figure's right hand. There is a dent to the figure's left forearm and side of the head. There is a break in the section of the scarf over the figure's left arm.
