Attendant Bodhisattva in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2009

Attendant Bodhisattva in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, April 2009
Attendant Bodhisattva
Yuan (1271-1368) - Ming (1368-1644) dynasty, late 14th-15th century
Wood with gesso and pigment

Accession # 28.123

The posture suggests that this figure represents a bodhisattva who served as an attendant to a Buddha or another transcendent figure. It most likely was part of a larger group of figures depicting members of the Buddhist pantheon.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
