Description
This portrait of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva painted by a Goryeo artist was inspired by an episode in the chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra titled Entering the Dharma Realm, in which a young pilgrim named Sudhana meets Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva during his travels around the South to meet fifty-three spiritual advisors. Various symbolic objects, including the blue bamboo, rock and ritual ewer depicted with the bodhisattva, are characteristic elements of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva portraits painted by late Goryeo artists. While the painting is damaged and shows traces of repair work, its outstanding harmony and composition make it a valuable source of knowledge on the Buddhist paintings of late Goryeo (918-1392).
