This marble sculpture depicts the Bodhisattva. It originates from Anyang, in the Henan Province and is believe to have been made in the 11th or 12th century (either the Liao or Jin dynasty). This figure's full, fleshy face with broad cheeks and double chin is typical of Liao and Jin dynasty sculpture. The jewellery and the robe, with its rich folds and bows, are rendered with great plasticity, as are the flaming halo and the eddying waves on on the plinth. Details such as the rectangular belt clasp and the left foot with its realistically carved sole and toes also merit attention.   This object is part of "Scan The World". Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free. Scan the World is an open source, community effort, if you have interesting items around you and would like to contribute, email [email protected] to find out how you can help.
