Buddhism in Malaysia 1000 years ago

Buddhism was the main religion in Malaysia for more than 1,000 years, and has left some wonderful art works behind, not all of which are now on show. This is a statue of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, found at Bidor in Perak, and now kept in the Muzium Negara, Kuala Lumpur 8-9th century, 79cm (31") tall. Photo is by Gryffindor.
