Wassermond-Avalokiteshvara

first half of the 14th century
Not on view
Auf diesem Rollenbild sitzt der prachtvoll gekleidete Bodhisattva namens Wassermond-Avalokiteshvara (Suwol gwaneum) auf einem Felsvorsprung über den Wellen. Die üblichen Attribute der Gottheit – ein kleines Bild des Amitabha Buddhas auf der Krone und ein ritueller Wasserregner, in dem sich ein Weidenzweig befindet – sind vorhanden. Am oberen Rand des Bildes befindet sich ein winziger Mond, in dem ein Hase das Elixier der Unsterblichkeit zerstößt. Zu Füßen der Gottheit stehen elegant gekleidete Miniaturfiguren, die vom Drachenkönig angeführt werden. Rechts unten ist der Pilgerjunge Sudhana (Seonjae dongja) zu sehen, dessen Begegnung mit dem Avalokiteshvara im Avatamsaka Sutra (Blumenschmucktext) nacherzählt wird.
