A characterful cast-bronze figure of Avalokiteśvara in the four-armed Śadakṣarī/Chenrezig form: the principal hands meet in añjali at the heart while the upper hands hold the lotus and (now-softened) rosary. Crowned and seated in meditation on a flowing base, the sculpture shows lively hand tooling and a deep, time-worn patina.

To the reverse is the traditional consecration cavity (cover now lost), where mantra scrolls or relics would originally have been sealed; the small round plug lower on the back is a normal casting sprue from the lost-wax process.

Likely Himalayan/Nepalese workshop, early-20th century. Height reads directly from the tape at approximately 12.5 cm (about 4.9"). A soulful altar piece with strong wabi-sabi presence for meditation corners and curated, Japandi-leaning interiors. Condition: age-wear, small bends and knocks to the flame scrolls, surface rubbing/oxidation, and the missing rear cover as shown; stable and displays beautifully.
