Resumo
Photograph of a statue of Avalokiteshvara, Udayagiri Hills, Cuttack in Orissa, taken by William Henry Cornish around 1870, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections. R.L. Mitra in The Antiquities of Orissa of 1875-80 wrote, 'The figure is cut in high relief on a single slab of rough clorite holding a large lotus in the left hand: the nose and right hand are mutilated. The ears, arms, wrists and breasts are decorated with ornaments.Fromthe ornaments, and the lotus in the left hand it is obvious that the image is of Padmapani, the renowned Boddhisattva, and not of Buddha himself.'. Photographer: Cornish, William Henry.
