| 説明 | 1959.129 Early 700s China, Tang dynasty. Gray sandstoneOverall: 129.6 x 63.6 x 25.4 cm (51 x 25 1/16 x 10 in.)[Personal Comments: This statue is one of the finest and best preserved statues from the Tang Dynasty. The back of the statue was once attached to a wall and poorly removed, suggesting this statue was likely from a grotto. Eleven heads/faces Guanying(Ekādaśamukha) comes from Esoteric (Vahrayana) Buddhism. “Esoteric (Vahrayana) Buddhism employs rituals and magic spells and features multi headed and multi armed deities. This form of Buddhism was popular in China during the Tang dynasty (618–907), when this image of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, was made under imperial patronage. Eleven heads represent the stages of enlightenment. The sensuous sculptural style reflects Indian influence.” Although Eleven Faces Gunaying was popular in the Tang Dynasty, not many examples survive to this day. This statue is a fine example of the subject and showcases the Tang Dynasty imperial craftsmanship, the golden period for sculpture in Ancient Chinese History. The level of preservation is unbelievable, no damages was done to any faces (Most Tang Dynasty eleven face Guanying stone sculptures’ small faces are damaged from years of vandalizing). This statue is one of the finest Chinese sculptures known yet it is placed in the staircase hallway with few visitors, this is quite saddening.] |
