The bodhisattva wears a three-leaf crown with ribbons hanging to the shoulders on both sides. He has a square forehead, broad face, and puckered lips revealing a smile. Holding a peach-shaped lock in his right hand, a lotus stem in his left hand, the bodhisattva stands straight on a lotus pedestal. Below his long neck is a choker with a knotted pearl pendant. His thin body is clad with a wide scarf; pearl strands hang down from his narrow shoulders, crossing at a round jade button in front of his abdomen, then veer outwards. The edges of his flowing multilayered, feather-shaped pleated skirt flare out to the sides with a lively air. The beauty of lines and elaborate decoration of this piece is a prominent feature of bronze bodhisattva statues in the late Northern Wei period. The distinctive Han style attire indicates that bronze sculpture of this period had transformed from a foreign style to a Chinese style with indigenous Han characteristics.
