The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara in the Form of Padmapani, the Lotus Bearer

This Padmapani descends from a series of eleventh-century bodhisattva icons produced under the patronage of the Guge kingdom. It belongs to a larger tradition of metal bodhisattva icons made in western and central Tibetan workshops under both Kashmiri and Indian Pala dynasty influences. The inlaid silver for the eyes and copper for the lips, and the jewelry details, reflect Tibetan responses to Pala models. A softness to the anatomy points to its twelfth-century date, as do the crown, ear ornaments, and engraved textile designs on the waist cloth.

这尊莲花手观音源自11世纪古格王国（Guge kingdom）赞助下制作的一系列菩萨圣像。它属于一个更宏大的传统，即受克什米尔和印度帕拉王朝（Pala dynasty）风格影响的、于西藏西部和中部作坊中制作的金属菩萨圣像传统。眼部镶嵌的银饰、唇部镶嵌的铜饰以及珠宝细节，均体现了西藏对帕拉王朝造像范式的借鉴与回应。其人体结构的柔和感，以及头冠、耳饰和腰布上雕刻的织物纹样，均表明其制作年代为12世纪。
