Buda entronizado acompañado por los bodhisattvas Avalokiteshvara y Vajrapani

second half of the 10th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 247
Este grupo escultórico, con siete piezas fundidas por separado, es uno de los bronces javaneses más complejos que existen. La figura central con las manos alzadas predicando el dharma tal vez sea Shakyamuni, el Buda histórico, o bien Vairocana, su manifestación transcendente. El león que emerge de la base es una referencia al nombre del clan del Buda. Avalokiteshvara está sentado a la izquierda, apoyado en el becerro Nandin; a la derecha, Vajrapani está acompañado por su montura, un makara (híbrido mítico de cocodrilo y elefante). Las esbeltas proporciones de las figuras y sus facciones angulares indican que esta tríada fue creada en el periodo javanés oriental temprano.
