A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF THE ELEVEN-FACED AVALOKITESHVARA GWANSEUM, GORYEO DYNASTY (918-1392)

Korea, circa 12th-13th century. Finely cast, seated in dhyanasana with his hands held in dharmachakra mudra below the chest. His close-fitting robes falling in well-carved folds gracefully fanning at the legs, richly adorned in floral tasseled jewelry and ornate armbands, a billowing shawl wrapped around his arms and rising behind his head. The serene face with downcast eyes below arched brows centered by a circular urna. The elaborate two-tiered crown with ten faces topped by an image of the Buddha Amitabha.

Inscriptions: Down the upper back, with a neatly incised inscription, and apocryphally dated ‘Fourth month of the fourth year of Silla Muyeol’ (corresponding to 657 AD). The lower back with three further characters.

Provenance: From the collection of Sven ?kesson, acquired in Korea between 1950 and 1958, thence by descent. Sven ?kesson (1902-1991) was a Swedish medical physician who worked at the Swedish Red Cross field hospital in Busan, Korea between 1950 and 1958, from 1952 as the hospital’s director. His printed writings are mainly about electrocardiography.
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear, casting flaws, signs of weathering and erosion, rubbing to the gilt, small nicks, and dents to the base. The underside is sealed. The bronze has a dark, naturally grown patina.

Weight: 2,566
Dimensions: Height 26.6 cm
