Private Collection
An
early 20th century Chinese bronze Samantabhadra, All Gracious Bodhisattva of Great
Conduct. Here he is specifically known in China as Pu Hsien, and portrayed as
a fusion of the goddess Samantabhadri and Kuan Yin. This highly polished bronze
is majestically rendered, with Ming Dynasty Zhengde (1491-1521) seal marks embossed
on the back and base plate. Samantabhadra is sitting firmly on the six-tusks elephant,
with eyes down cast in contemplation, he wears a
pronounced diadem of the Buddha Amitabha,
right hand poised in the teaching mudra, and in her left she holds a sumptuous
lotus. The countenance of Samantabhadra conveys peace and immovable stillness,
and fully immersed in transcendence.
