Item: Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattva & Buddhist Deity) - Khasarpani (Sky Flier)

Avalokiteshvara.

The inscription reads 'om svasti, avalokiteshvara, the most supreme of deities, for the passing of Pema Wangyal...in the water female sheep year...by the educated Nepali Abhaya Jayati. Mangalam.' The water female sheep years occurring in the 16th century were 1523/24 and 1583/84. It is not necessarily true that this Pema Wangyal is the famous Ngari Panchen Pema Wangyal [P1699] whose dates are 1487 to 1542.

By the virtue [of making this image], may all beings rapidly attain Buddhahood. Blessings." Translated by Amy Heller
