The Bodhisattva is shown seated in dhyanasana, with the right hand raised, while the left hand holds a handscroll. Dressed in loose robes elaborately decorated with floral borders, wearing a finely detailed reticulated crown and bejewelled necklaces around the chest. The countenance radiates profound serenity, conveying both divine grace and contemplative depth.

The present lot is exceptional for its unusually large size. The flat chest and rectangular feet are stylistic features of late Ming dynasty Buddhist iconography. A closely comparable example, a seated Bodhisattva rendered in a similar style, is preserved in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, collection no. zintong000205N.
