Avalokitesvara depicted in the form of Sadaksari. 18th century. Very good bronze image with gilded face of the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This has an excellent worn polish on the surface and is well crafted. There are some tiny prayer scrolls inside the torso cavity indicating a high Monk or Lama has consecrated this image. A museum quality perspex stand is included.

8/9th CE circa from Pakistani Kashmir. This item is extremely rare and came off a larger ensemble. Padmasambava who brought Buddhism to Tibet was said to have come from this area in the 7th century (Swat). Tibetan Buddhism dominated Baltistan and much of this area prior to the advent of Islam. This item was sourced in Karimabad in the Hunza Valley in 1998. Condition is as shown in photos and is mounted on museum standard plexiglass base. 6.3cm/2.4in height and 5cm/1.9in wide.
USD$3000./HKD$23,000. Sold to Singapore. Thanks la!

Priced well below market value this piece of Tantric Art would make an exceptional acquisition for the serious collector. Dimension... Click for details
