‘When I first saw these two figures, I was immediately struck by how extraordinarily beautiful they are,’ says Olivia Hamilton, our Chinese Works of Art specialist in New York, of these two Tang-dynasty bodhisattvas.⠀
.⠀
In the Buddhist tradition, a bodhisattva is a benevolent being who has attained enlightenment but has postponed entry into nirvana to help others.⠀
.⠀
‘When you look at them you get the sense that they are protective, helpful and compassionate. They are on your side,’ our specialist explains. ‘They have a very calm, reassuring presence.’⠀
.⠀
‘They are very much two pieces that work as unit. They are certainly the finest examples of Tang style that I’ve seen come up for sale.’⠀
