- Avalokiteshvara is a bodhisattva in the Buddhist Mahayana tradition who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas
- He wears a beautiful crown with his chest bare and his dhoti flowing over the base in gossamer ripples
- His right hand is held up in the abhaya mudra of "fear not" hand position granting his divine protection to his devotees
- The antique, verde-gris patina of Avalokiteshvara is the perfect contrast for the wooden, black base
Avalokiteshvara is a bodhisattva in the Buddhist Mahayana tradition who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana Buddhism.
This particular pose shows Avalokiteshvara in a very relaxed posture with his chest exposed. His leggings hang loosely between his two legs. His leg posture is quite unique as on leg is bent next to him in an uplifted position with the other hanging down. Avalokiteshvara wears a fancy head dress that combines his hair into a jeweled crown. This pose is a copy of a piece in the Sri Lankan National Museum. The statue has rich antique patina. Avalokiteshvara sits on a black wood base that gives the sculpture a refined look.

Brass statues from Bali, Indonesia do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. Bali brass is meant only to be used indoors.
You can use a natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil and a cotton cloth to periodically wipe down the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair. This will not remove any of the natural patina on the statue.
