O soše
Caparisoned Elephant, an anonymous gilt-bronze sculpture from around the eleventh century, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Its six-tusked animal supports the throne of Puxian, or Samantabhadra, the bodhisattva of universal virtue. Puxian often accompanies the wisdom bodhisattva Wenshu, who rides a lion. The bronze is solid except for a hollow in the middle of the belly. Dragons move among clouds across the elaborate saddle cloth, recalling the material splendour of Liao culture. On view in room 241C.
Slovy muzea
The six-tusked elephant holds the throne of Puxian (Samantabhadra), the Bodhisattva of Universal Virtue, who often appears with Wenshu (Manjusri), the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, on his lion-vehicle. This impressive gilt bronze statue is solidly cast, except for the hollow at the center of its belly. The richly ornate saddle cloth exhibits superb craftsmanship and vivid representations of dragons among clouds, echoing the worldly splendor of the Liao material culture.
