The arhat is a figure of primary importance in Theravada Buddhism but he achieves enlightenment through teaching while a Buddha achieves it by himself. Even if Moggallana is widely mentioned in Mahayana Buddhism, the ideal of the arhat is abandoned in favor of that of bodhisattva, a more altruistic concept. Bronze sculpture, Brimanie (Myanmar), Mandalay period around 1900. Provenance: Estate of the merchant and collector Claude de Marteau. Sold with certificate of provenance. H 39 cm x W 24 cm x D 27 cm Weight: 7.8 kg See less
