A Copper Alloy Figure of Avalokiteshvara

Seated with a leg pendent, the foot placed on a lotus rising from the base, some locks of matted hair cascading from his tall chignon (jatamukuta), his right hand making the gesture of supreme generosity, the other holding the stem of a lotus flower.
Age discolored, scratches, tarnished.
