Collected by the Chicago Museum of Art Longri Compilation
Stone sculpture of the Tang Dynasty (725-750 AD); Bodhisattva has a high bun, beautiful facial features, a serene look and elegant posture. Wearing the holy belt obliquely, wearing collars, arm bracelets, bracelets and other accessories, the whole body is solemn. Expose the upper body and make the body round. Under the thin skirt, the pleats are clear, showing the texture of silk. The Bodhisattva sat with his knees crossed, his right hand bent on his leg, his left hand bent up, his whole upper body and head tilted sharply to the left, and his eyes closed slightly to form a thinking pattern. Its graceful posture, quiet demeanor, accurate structure and simple technique have all reached a high level. The Bodhisattva of Thought was created by China and became popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
