The Art Circle Library Thread.
Statute of Kannon at my local art museum. He/she is about 8 ft tall and carved completely from wood. It amazes me every time I see it
It was made during the Liao Dynasty (907-1125) in China.

"Seated Woman" -- bronze sculpture by Francisco Zuniga (1975).

I do not believe there to be any "Buddhist influence" to this piece (Zuniga's works often depict the indigenous women of south-eastern Mexico), but it just really spoke to me when I visited it this week. The inherent dignity of her seated pose is inspiring and not unlike that of a Buddha (to these eyes anyway).
