- This stunning statue of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara in full repose naturally seated with his arm resting on his knee
- He is seated on a rectangular base that has two lotus flowers on the front and the back and a Yaksha on both sides with his hands over his head. Yaksha's are temple guardians that are meant to keep out negative forces from entering a temple
- Avalokiteshvara has a beautiful antique green, verde-gris patina with gold robes and jewelry
Avalokiteshvara is seated on a tall rectangular base in a relaxed position with his right hand up on his raised knee. The pose is unique in that it does not show the Bodhisattva in meditaion or with any special mudra. It shows Avalokiteshvara in a worldly pose simply relaxing. He wears a modest crown with the Amida Buddha on the front of it. His gossamer robes hang naturally over his body. The patina of the piece is perfect with a antique green, verde-gris patina with gold robes, crown, and jewels. The top pf the base is red.
On each side of the base are designs with the front having a lotus flower and the sides showing a yaksha on each side with his hands over his head. Yaksha's are temple guardians that are meant to keep out negative forces from entering a temple.
The pose is a copy of a smaller statue of Avalokiteshvara in the Sri Lankan national museum.
About Avalokiteshvara: In the Buddhist pantheon of enlightened beings, Avalokiteshvara is renowned as the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas, he is the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Avalokiteshvara is the earthly manifestation of the self born, eternal Buddha, Amitabha. He guards this world in the interval between the historical Shakyamuni Buddha and the next Buddha, the Future Buddha, Maitreya.
Avalokiteshvara may be the most popular of all Buddhist deities, with the exception of Lord Buddha himself -- he is beloved throughout the Buddhist world. He is known by different names in different lands: as Avalokiteshvara in the ancient Sanskrit language of India, as Kuan Yin or Guan Yin in China, as Kannon in Japan and as Chenrezig or Chak-Zhi-Pa in Tibet.

If you require a little extra service, (within reason) a tip to a delivery man usually works wonders!
For placing the statue our customers have either placed the statue themselves with help of a friend and a tool like a hand truck or a dolly. Or by contacting their landscaper who is used to moving large and heavy objects like rocks and trees into place.
