About the Item

This antique Chinese bronze statue represents Marici, a revered figure in Buddhist mythology. Crafted from bronze, a material known for its durability and historical significance in Chinese art, the statue captures the essence of Marici's symbolic attributes. Marici is a six-armed Buddhist deity with the head of a wild boar. In Tibetan Buddhism, she is often referred to as "Özer Chenma" (Wylie: 'od zer can ma), which means "Mother of Light." Marici is a complex deity with various aspects and attributes, and she is revered in different forms across various Buddhist traditions. In her depiction with a boar's head and six arms, Marici is shown holding different Buddhist weapons in her hands, include a Dharma wheel, a sword, a bow and arrow, and other objects, each symbolizing different spiritual concepts. She is considered a deity of light and the dawn, often associated with the rising sun, and is believed to dispel darkness and ignorance. Marici's worship is prevalent in Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese Buddhism, and she is considered a protector deity, offering safety to her devotees from various physical and spiritual dangers. Her iconography, including the boar's head, is rich in symbolism and reflects her role as a powerful and multifaceted figure in Buddhist mythology. circa: 1900, late Qing Dynasty
