The ancient Kingdom of Guge was a small Western Himalayan kingdom which was founded by King Yeshe-? and flourished from the tenth through twelfth centuries. Its artistic tradition was heavily influenced by Kashmiri sculptural and painting styles due to the presence of Kashmiri teachers and artisans active in the area during the period of the second dissemination of Buddhism in Tibet (c. 950-1200). The manner of modeling the rounded face with long, thin eyes, the pronounced belly, and the conjoined nimbus form in the present work are all reminiscent of Kashmiri prototypes that began appearing in Tibet at the turn of the eleventh century.

Literature comparison:
The style of depiction closely resembles murals in caves such as those at Ropa and Tsaparang, surrounding the Sutlej River which was once the heart of the western Tibetan Kingdom of Guge. The present sculpture, with its restrained representation, differs from the early masterpieces of Kashmir, which are defined by their exaggerated features. Compare the iconography, proportions, and rendering of the facial features of the present work with a related figural depiction of Eleven-headed Avalokiteshvara attributed to the Tholing region of Western Tibet, from the eleventh century, at the Los Angeles Museum of Art, accession number M.78.40, illustrated by C. Luczanits in Collecting Paradise: Buddhist Art of Kashmir and Its Legacies, New York, p. 111, fig. 2.4.

古格王國是喜馬拉雅西部的一個小王國,由耶西烏國王建立,並在十世紀到十二世紀達到興盛。在西藏第二次傳播佛教期間(約 950-1200 年)活躍在該地區的克什米爾工匠的藝術風格深受克什米爾雕塑和繪畫風格的影響。本造像的圓臉、細長的眼睛、突出的腹部和連體的光背造型方式,都讓人聯想到十一世紀初在西藏開始出現的克什米爾原型。

文獻比較:
The style of depiction closely resembles murals in caves such as those at Ropa and Tsaparang,surrounding the Sutlej River which was once the heart of the western Tibetan Kingdom of Guge. The present sculpture,with its restrained representation,differs from the early masterpieces of Kashmir,which are defined by their exaggerated features. 描繪的風格非常類似於 Ropa 和 Tsaparang 等洞穴中的壁畫,這些壁畫圍繞著曾經是西藏西部古格王國心臟的象泉河。目前的雕塑以其克制的表現形式,不同於喀什米爾早期的傑作,後者以其誇張的展現形式為特徵。比較本作品的肖像、比例和面部特徵渲染與十一世紀西藏西部托林鎮的十一頭觀世音像相近,收藏於洛杉磯藝術博物館,館藏編號M.78.40,見《C. Luczanits in Collecting Paradise: Buddhist Art of Kashmir and Its Legacies》,紐約,頁111,圖2.4。
