Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin)
This bodhisattva can be identified as Avalokiteshvara by the small sculpture of a Buddha on his headdress and by the vessel he holds in his right hand. The shape of this vessel, particularly its bird’s-head top, typifies metalwork and ceramics produced in China in the late seventh and early eighth centuries.
