A hardstone inlaid gilt bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara
Tibet, 15th/16th century

The eleven-headed eight-armed deity standing atop a circular double-lotus base with incised borders, his primary hands folded in front of his chest and his secondary arms radiating around him holding a lotus, a bell and a bow and arrows, clad in a long, flaring dhoti with incised foliate patterns secured with a pendant belt inset with hardstones, an antelope skin draped across his left shoulder, further adorned with necklaces and other jewelry inset with hardstones, the faces finely detailed with remains of polychromy in the eyes and mouth and surmounted by elaborate crowns inset with hardstones, the tenth head in a fierce expression, his mouth snarling and his full beard and brows with the remains of red polychromy, the highest head that of Buddha Amitabha, with the remains of polychromy in his mouth and almond-shaped eyes, backed by a flaming mandorla formed with the high chignon of the head below, richly gilt overall with remains of cold gold on each face, the base sealed with a copper plate incised with a double-vajra

此尊十一面八臂观音立于圆形双层莲座之上，莲座边缘刻有纹饰。主臂双手于胸前合掌，其余手臂于身周展开，分别持莲花、铃、弓与箭。下身著长裙，裙摆外展，裙上刻饰花叶纹样，腰间系嵌宝石悬坠腰带。左肩披羚羊皮，佩项链及其他嵌宝石珠宝。诸面刻划精细，眼、口处尚存彩绘痕迹，顶戴嵌宝石繁复宝冠。第十面呈忿怒相，口大张作怒吼状，满腮胡须及双眉尚存红色彩绘痕迹。最顶一面为阿弥陀佛像，其口与杏仁状双目中尚存彩绘。背光呈火焰形，由下方高髻处延伸而出。通体鎏金厚重，每面皆留有冷金痕迹。底封原装，铜板上刻双金刚杵纹。
