This finely gilt-repousse sculpture depicts a standing Bodhisattva, possibly Padmapani, identified by the serene expression and elegant posture. The figure stands atop a stylized lotus base with subtle detailing that emphasizes grace and divinity. Padmapani is adorned with intricate jewelry, including a beaded necklace, armbands, and earrings, which reflect high craftsmanship. Flowing drapery and scarves encircle the figure’s body, reinforcing its dynamic yet balanced stance.
The left hand is raised in the gesture of abhaya mudra (fearlessness), symbolizing protection and reassurance. The right hand likely once held an object, such as a steam of a lotus flower. The facial features are delicate and meditative, with arched eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a gentle smile conveying inner calm and compassion.
