Subject:Please help ID bodhisattva (?) statue
Posted By: Cten Sun, Apr 15, 2018 IP: 173.76.106.94 Found this nice little brass statue at a Vietnamese bric-a-brac shop. Owner did not know provenance, and I wouldn't know S/SE Asian from Japanese/Chinese. So sorry if wrong category! |

Posted By: Henry Wilson Mon, Apr 16, 2018 From my experience I would say that it is definetly not Japanese and probably not Chinese. It looks SE Asian to me, especially the headgear. |
Subject:Re: Please help ID bodhisattva (?) statue - Amitayus
Posted By: Cten Thu, May 10, 2018 In case useful to anyone else: I was fortunate to receive an identification from the inimitable James Callahan. He identifies it as Amitayus, a Nepalese 20th-century piece of minimal value. |
