Within Tibetan Buddhism, this representation stands for protection, compassion, and the ability to alleviate suffering in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite their compact size, the statues possess a strong spiritual presence. The many arms, multi-headed composition, and standing posture make the depiction immediately recognizable as a complex Vajrayana iconography. These are not ordinary decorative Buddha statues, but ritual figures with deep symbolic meaning.\n\nThe warm gilding, fine engravings, and dark oxidation in the deeper parts give the statues character and depth. The closed bases and visible signs of age reinforce the impression of traditionally crafted Himalayan statues with a ritual function.\n\nAvalokiteshvara is often chosen by people seeking a statue for protection, compassion, healing, and inner peace. As a pair, these figures form a powerful ensemble for an altar, meditation space, or collection of Himalayan art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #8a6a24; font-size: 20px; margin-top: 26px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eAvalokiteshvara Sahasrabhuja\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eHimalaya \/ Tibetan tradition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eOlder version, presumably 19th century or earlier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eGilded bronze \/ copper alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSymbolism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eCompassion, protection, healing and spiritual power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge statue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eH 21 cm x W 12 cm, 540 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall image\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"\u003eH 19 cm x W 9 cm, 400 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57163705319755,"sku":"230","price":3895.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/paar-avalokiteshvara-sahasrabhuja-brons-tibet.jpg?v=1777548285","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/museum-couple-avalokiteshvara-sahasrabhuja-ladakh-west-tibet-13th-14th-century","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
