Twelfth-century Water-Moon Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva in the Water-Moon Form), now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the sculpture’s description on artsmia.org:

“This form of the bodhisattva presides over his own paradise, Potolaka, which is described in scripture as a rugged seaside cave from which Avalokiteshvara could admire the reflection of the moon in the water. Appropriately, he appears meditative and relaxed and is seated informally in the “royal-ease” posture...Believers might look to a sculpture like this as a guide for their own journeys toward enlightenment.”

Het groepsbeeld is ooit beschilderd geweest en toont man en vrouw zittend op een stoel met leeuwenpoten. Ze lijken te wachten tot ze met spijs en drank worden bediend. De vrouw heeft haar linkerarm teder om haar echtgenoot geslagen. Uit de inscripties weten we dat dit dubbelbeeld Maya en Merit afbeeld. Het stond ooit in het graf in Sakkara en fungeerde daar als voedselontvanger bij de offercultus. Daarnaast diende het beeld als behuizing voor de ka’s, de zielen van de beiden dode, die in het hiernamaals blijvend moesten worden verzorgd met eten en drinken.

This model of a two-decker, 64-gun ship of the line dates from around 1700. Little is known about its earliest history. Although it has a partial interior, details such as the quarter galleries are missing and it is possible that the model was never finished. 3D model by Adam de Kaminski for SMTM, 2024.

*Denna modell av ett tvådäckat linjeskepp med 64 kanoner kan dateras till cirka 1700. Vi vet mycket lite om föremålets äldre historia. Modellen har vissa interiördetaljer bevarade, men till exempel saknas låringsgallerierna och det är möjligt att modellen aldrig färdigställdes. 3D-modell utförd av Adam de Kaminski för SMTM, 2024.*

Seated figure of bodhisattva Guanyin, late 11th-early 12th century.

From the sculpture's page on artsmia.org:

*"A bodhisattva is an enlightened being who has delayed entering paradise in order to help others attain enlightenment. This figure represents the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, known to the Chinese as Guanshiyin (later also as Guanyin), which means 'he who observes the sounds of the world'—including cries for help."*

Welcome to stage 2.

As you have mastered the first level of Monument Valley, have a try at the second level of difficulty.

Jokes aside, this is my second model in the style of the mobile game [Monument Valley ](http://www.monumentvalleygame.com/) by ustwo games.

I did the modeling part in one day, about 6 hours, the texturing took longer because I experimented around a little.

If you notice some sort of clipping, e.g. in the upper right corner of the waterway, that's because sketchfab has a minimum camera angle of 1° instead of 0°

Hope you like it !

Green Tara, 14th-15th century CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. 

From the sculpture's description on [artsmia.org](https://collections.artsmia.org/art/31183/green-tara-tibet) :

*Green Tara is one of the most revered female bodhisattvas, a being who postpones enlightenment to assist others on earth. She is the companion of the Cosmic Buddha Amoghasiddhi and equally transmits his gifts to the worshiper. Remarkable for its size and age, this statue is made from pieces of sheet copper—some now missing—that were hammered, formed, and fastened with rivets. The deity’s right hand, opened in the gift- bestowing gesture, would have rested on her right knee. Her left hand once held the stem of a lotus, which blossomed at her shoulder.*

This model has been repaired for Sketchfab sharing - the upper legs are open in the actual sculpture, but closed and textured in this model.

Green Tara, 14th-15th century CE

Bodhisattva, Shanxi Province, Jin Dynasty, c. 1200, Cassia wood, traces of polychromy, rock crystal. Musée du Cinquantenaire (Brussels, Belgium). Made with ReMake and ReCap from AutoDesk.

A bodhisattva is a "promised enlightenment," but delays its entrance into nirvana to help all living beings to attain illumination. The crystalline pupils are made of rock crystal. Such care is justified by the fact that the consecration of a Buddhist statue consisted in opening his eyes ritually. This ceremony gave him a soul and made it an object of worship. The tiara in her hair, the necklace on her chest, the drapery retained at the waist by an elaborate belt are the image of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni. The bodhisattva originally stood in a temple next to a larger Buddha. The present presentation at the museum aims to restore the oblique angle of vision under which it appeared to the visitor in the Chinese sanctuary.

> Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of compassion, sits here on a rock in the paradise of Potalaka, a bent leg connoting "royal serenity". According to the traditional visual vocabulary, she is gazing at the moon reflected in the surface of the water at her feet. Her crown bears an image of the Buddha Amithaba (Chinese Emituofo), to whom Guanyin is assigned in the Buddhist pantheon.

Ett kotben från en kaskelotval som mäter 30 centimeter hög och 74 centimeter bred. Detta ben så väl som ett skulderblad har blivit kopplade till en mytisk historia och brukade visas upp i Visby domkyrka. De estimeras vara från 1600- talet och nämns även av Carl von Linné när han besökte kyrkan 1741.

Benen tillhör numera Gotlands Museum.

Georeferenced Orthomosaic Map and Model. The most important prehistoric site of the East Midlands, Arbor Low is a Neolithic henge monument atmospherically set amid high moorland. Within an earthen bank and ditch, a circle of some 50 white limestone slabs, all now fallen, surrounds a central stone ‘cove’ – a feature found only in major sacred sites. Nearby is enigmatic Gib Hill, a large burial mound.
