Seated bodhisattva
Not on view
This elegant bodhisattva wears a particularly elaborate array of fine beaded chains and pendants on his chest and skirt. The object is part of a series of large Buddhist porcelain sculptures bejeweled with applied ropes of pearl beading, which relates them to a popular trend of decoration in the early fourteenth century.
