MYERSTOWN, PENN. — Kleinfelter’s Auction closed out the month of May with its Online Asian, Tribal & Oceanic Antiques sale, an 814-lot event offering a single-owner collection. The $27,940 finish, including buyer’s premium, for a Qing dynasty Chinese seated Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara bronze statuette marked the highest price of the day. Likely made in the mid Nineteenth Century, the work depicted a deity “who has attained the highest level of enlightenment and compassion,” according to catalog notes. The base of the figure was engraved with Chinese characters, while its bottom was incised with the Vishvavajra symbol of Tibetan Buddhism. Additional highlights from this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
