Description from the seller

Selling a used beautiful statue, Avalokiteshvara, patron saint of Tibet. Avalokiteshvara literally means, the lord who looks at the world, or also the lord who looks down on the world. Avalokiteshvara, whose epithet is "the one who never closes the eye," is, in terms of its religious significance, the most revered Bodhisattva. The multiple heads illustrate his ability to perceive suffering in all directions. The sculpture weighs about 12 kg, is 68 cm tall, 53 cm wide, and 20 cm deep, and is made of bronze. One stone is missing from the multiple heads; please refer to the photos. The figure will be shipped in a dismantled state in a wooden box, see photo.
