Although made some 700 years after the Nepali example in the exhibition, this Tibetan statue of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, shares many features with the earlier work as artists continued to follow sacred canons of proportion and appearance. Each figure is depicted wearing a belted skirt-like garment with a sacred thread draped over his left shoulder and a small seated Buddha in his headdress. The strap tied around the waist and right leg of this seated Avalokiteshvara helped maintain position during lengthy meditation practices.
