Vintage cast bronze altar figurine of the Buddhist bodhuisattva Avalokiteshvara, aka Guanyin of the Thousand Arms. Made of dark patinaed bronze, the figure is seated in lotus position on a pedestal base, dressed in robes and sun shaped head piece, with one pair of hands folding in front and seven additional pairs of arms holding various objects.
"Multi-armed images of Guanyin, the bodhisattva (enlightened being) of compassion, are popular in several schools of Chinese Buddhism. In its fullest form, the bodhisattva has one thousand arms and hands. Each hand has an eye in its palm that perceives the suffering of the world, and each bears a token that offers a means of salvation." (Source: Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art)
