Description
Carved to perfection and the utmost detail, this sculpture of a Bodhisattva represents the pinnacle of expertise in Sri Lankan woodwork. A Bodhisattva is a person that has made a resolve to become a Buddha in a future life and this prediction has been confirmed from an existing Buddha. Despite being a country of the Theravada buddhist doctrine, the ancient practice of statue worship was influenced by Mahayana cult during the Kingdom of Anuradhapura (377 BC–1017 AD).
