Description

This impressive large lavastone figure of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara stands at 197 cm tall and weighs approximately 2000 kg. Hand-carved from a single block of lava stone, this statue exemplifies the skilled craftsmanship of Indonesian artisans during the mid-20th century. The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, often depicted with multiple arms, symbolizes compassion and mercy, embodying the essence of selfless love in Buddhist tradition.

Originating from the island of Java in Indonesia, this statue reflects the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the region, where Buddhism has thrived for centuries alongside other religions. The use of lavastone, a volcanic material, adds to its historical significance and durability. As a revered figure in Mahayana Buddhism, Avalokiteshvara serves as a guiding presence for practitioners seeking enlightenment and relief from suffering.

This piece is not only a striking art object but also a profound representation of spiritual devotion. Its substantial dimensions and detailed features make it a striking focal point in any setting.
