Bodhisattva, one of a pair, 18th C CE

3D Model

Bodhisattva, one of a pair, 18th C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the object’s description on artsmia.org:

“Although mirror images of each other, these two statues likely do not represent the same bodhisattva; they are more probably the popular deities Maitraya and Avalokitesvara. Standing in graceful posture holding the stalk of a lotus flower, they likely formed part of a sculptural triad flanking a larger bronze image of the Buddha.”

About this 3D model: We’ve made a specularity map from the diffuse to make the Sketchfab view more like the original’s color and specularity. Check out the Model Inspector to see the customizations.
