Avalokite vara is one of the many incarnations of what is called Guanyin in Chinese. This figure wears a flora coronet, hair in an ushnisha, deep eyes carved in rhombus shape, nose straight and wide, lips slightly pursed, showing facial features of Indians. She has a wide shoulder and a trim waist, upper body bared, standing with a stole circling her body; the lower part of her body is clad in Indian style dress with wave patterns, jades and pearls decorating her waist. A lotus flower is in her left hand which is decorated with bracelets just as her arms and legs. Wide bracelets consist a feature of Indian district. This figure is made in a typical 12th century Pala style, with a graceful design, especially the S-shaped body of the Avalokite vara, making the piece full of dynamics, staging a scarce and precious piece of artworks of Indian Pala.
