This would help gain merit in return for good karma for the named individuals. Compare to a rare inscribed gilt-bronze figure of Avalokitesvara, Sui dynasty, made and donated by the 'disciple Ruen Ci', sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 30 November 2022, lot 41. Some figures bore combinations of inscriptions revealing the name of the donor, date, maker, location of the figure being made, and location or temple it would be presented. In the current example of a bronze Buddha, the inscriptions show two donors, seemingly one male (Guo Puke) and the other female (Liu Miaolian). The remaining inscriptions entail a date, either the date the piece was made or the date being devoted. It is in October of the first year during the Wanli reign, corresponding to 1573AD. Also compare to a very rare gilt-bronze figure of Avalokitesvara, Ming dynasty, Xuande period, dated to 1435AD, inscribed with the donor's name Huang Fu, sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 07 April 2011, lot 2839.

Buddhist tradition associates the heavenly defenders, dharmapalas, with the four directions, Dhritarashtra (Chiguo) of the East, Virudhaka (Zengchang) of the South, Virupaksha (Guangmu) of the West, and Vaishravana (Duowen) of the North, defending the four heavens. Each cosmic directional god is portrayed as a military commander identified by their arms and armour.Virupaksha's feature is his divine eyes. His name in Chinese- Guangmu, means the expanded eyes, as he is known as the 'king who sees all'. In this present lot, this materialises as the attribute- a flaming pearl disc- held in his left hand. Normally the Guardian of the West also holds a naga rope, symbolising power, nobleness, and greatness. This heavenly guardian king is depicted in a wrathful state, which within Buddhist iconography implies expelling away evil energies.
