A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF ELEVEN-HEADED GUANYIN <br/>QING DYNASTY

This figure of Guanyin features eleven heads and eight arms with Sakyamuni Buddha at the top. Wearing jeweled crowns, the other Buddha heads appear kind and compassionate. Sheepskin is draped over his shoulders, silk bands are wrapped around his arms, and necklaces of jade and pearl hang in front of his chest. Wielding various items, the six arms in the back present the shape of the Chinese character, 米 (rice). The front arms are tucked in front of his chest, with both hands placed together in the gesture of salutation and reverence. His lower body is covered in a long skirt wrapped in necklace beads. Both bare feet stand upright on top of a round lotus pedestal.
