Description

This impressive marble bodhisattva head from India dates back to the 19th century. The downcast eyes, softly shaped mouth, and serene facial expression give the sculpture a calm, peaceful look. The elaborately detailed crown, large ear ornaments, and delicate jewelry provide a striking contrast to the tranquility of the face. Warm discolorations and signs of age give the marble a well-lived character.

In Mahayana Buddhism, a bodhisattva embodies the ideal of compassion: the pursuit of enlightenment to also help others free themselves from suffering. This depiction can thus be seen as a reminder of wisdom, inner peace, and care for the wellbeing of others.

Measuring 60 cm in height, 47 cm in width, and weighing 57 kilos, this head has a monumental presence. The dark base makes the light color of the marble and the detailed sculpture really stand out.
