AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a beautiful image of Cundi Bodhisattva (準提菩薩, Zhǔntí Púsà), also known as Cundhi or Chundi!

The characteristic iconographic elements:

The 18 arms (or sometimes 16) that fan out in a wheel-like pattern
The seated meditative posture on a lotus throne
The elaborate mandorla (aureole) with flames and decorative motifs
The serene facial expression with a crown
The lotus base with multiple tiers on a richly adorned pedestal
The bronze with a beautiful green patina

Cundi is an important bodhisattva in Vajrayana Buddhism and is especially worshipped in China, Japan (as Juntei Kannon) and Tibet.
She is regarded as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara and is known for her power to remove obstacles and provide protection.

The many arms bear various attributes such as vajras, lotus, mala beads, and other ritual objects, each with symbolic meaning.

The statue is in good used condition with signs of age. (See photos)
Very finely detailed.
Carefully packed and insured shipping.

Weight: 2100 grams.

This item can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so that you only pay the shipping costs once.
