Avalokiteshvara acqua e luna

first half of the 14th century
Not on view
In questo dipinto su rotolo, il bodhisattva noto col nome di Avalokiteshvara acqua e luna (Suwol gwaneum) siede riccamente vestito su una roccia che affiora sovrastando le onde. Sono visibili i consueti attributi della divinità: una piccola immagine di Buddha Amitabha sulla corona e un aspersorio rituale contenente un ramo di salice. Nella parte superiore del dipinto appare una piccola luna, in cui una lepre prepara l’elisir di lunga vita. Ai piedi della divinità si notano figure minuscole elegantemente adornate guidate dal re drago. In basso a destra si trova il fanciullo pellegrino Sudhana (Seonjae dongja), il cui incontro con Avalokiteshvara viene raccontato nel testo Avatamsaka Sutra (Scrittura della ghirlanda di fiori).
