Seated Samgiram Hermitage Wooden Avalokitesvara and Votive Objects (set)

This is one wooden seated Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue together with eighteen votive objects, including a dedicatory prayer text placed inside it. The votive objects comprise one dedicatory prayer text, three copies of the Bohyeopin Dharani, four Oryunjongja mantras (seed-syllable mantras of the Five Elements), three dharani texts connected with the worship of Avalokitesvara, one huryeongtong (a sacred container placed inside the statue), one wrapping cloth for the huryeongtong, and five small bottles representing the Five Treasures, among other items. The dedicatory text reveals the year the statue was made, the temple where it was made, and the names of the artisan monks involved, and the statue shows clearly the characteristics of eighteenth-century Buddhist sculpture, giving it great value for the study of Buddhist art history and for scholarship generally.
