  • Lokeshvara - Antique Indonesian Style Majapahit Standing Bronze Lokeshvara Statue - 37cm/15"

    Measurements Height 37cm/15"

    An antique Java style standing bronze Lokeshvara sculpture in the 13th century Majapahit style. 

    Lokeshvara, also known as Avalokiteshvara or Guanyin, is one of the most revered and beloved figures in Buddhist iconography. As a Bodhisattva, Lokeshvara embodies the essence of compassion, representing the aspiration to alleviate suffering and attain enlightenment not only for oneself but also for all sentient beings.

    Lokeshvara serves as a profound embodiment of the Bodhisattva ideal, which prioritizes compassion and altruism over personal liberation. His primary role is to hear and respond to the cries of suffering beings, using his wisdom and skillful means to alleviate their afflictions.

    Lokeshvara is stood samabhanga on a round lotus petal pedestal which is itself stood on a decorated pedestal. The lotus flower represents purity, compassion and the giving of great joy to all.

    His face has a downcast gaze. Upon his head he wears a decorative Javanese style tiara in front of his Kirita-Makuta or tall conical crown. This symbolises control over Positive and Negative attitudes. He has an aquiline nose and elongated earlobes with large ear rings.

    A top Lokeshvara's head can be seen a seated meditating Amitabha Buddha.

    His hands are held in a gesture of teaching. The thumb and finger making a circle. 

    Lokeshvara is backed by an aureole with a beaded border and flaming rim, topped by a decorative finial. This confirms his divinity. At the base of the aureole can be seen two Apsara in adoration pose. 

    Lokeshvara stands as a powerful symbol of compassion in Buddhism and beyond. As a Bodhisattva, he exemplifies the enduring aspiration to alleviate suffering and promote the well-being of all sentient beings.

    Lokeshvara's evolution over time and his cultural adaptability underscore the timeless relevance of his message, serving as an enduring source of inspiration for individuals seeking to cultivate compassion and make the world a more compassionate place.

    The sculpture has a wonderful azurite and malachite patina.

Just wanted to let you know that I am delighted with my purchase and it looks great! I'm on the lookout for a couple more pieces so I am sure we will do business again.

Today I've received Your angkor stele. It's quite splendid. Thank you very much for your mindful and fast shipping. I hope a chanse will come again.

Miki, Osaka, Japan

Just a quick note to let you know your package arrived in fine shape a while ago. (DHL, your shipper, is a very good shipping service; even though I wound up being home when the delivery was made, I was glad to have been able to pre-arrange my electronic signature/authorization to leave the package on my porch, should I not have been home to receive it; that option is a very nice one as it saves the recipient from having to wait around all day, in order to sign for a delivery. I very much like the bronze bust. The coloring is particularly appealing. I've placed it on a bookcase just inside the front entry...it looks great!!!. Very handsome piece. Thanks again for having shipped so quickly, for packing the bust so carefully and for your helpful statuses throughout the transaction process. You are so very good to do business with.
