整體品相良好。表面見輕微凹痕、鑿痕及劃痕（尤見底座正面，如圖錄所示）。見輕微鏽蝕（如圖錄所示），與其年代及品類相符。表面經清洗，大部分經重新鎏金，見正面大部分、底座背面及背面、側面部分。

Skilfully cast, the image of Avalokitesvara belongs to a group of similar sculptures of standing figures of Maitreya and Avalokitesvara framed against flame-shaped mandorlas. The open two-tiered plinth supporting the present figure is a particularly rare feature. Compare a related figure of Avalokitesvara, dated by inscription to 520, raised on an open square-form support in the Freer Sackler Collection (acc. no. F1909.264). Other dated gilt-bronze figures of Avalokitesvara include one figure, dated to 524, included in the exhibition Rikucho Jidai no Kondobutsu [Gilt bronzes from Six Dynasties], Kuboso Memorial Museum of Arts Izumi, Osaka, 1991, cat. no. 59; and another, dated to 519, from the collection of Sakamoto Gorō was sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 5th October 2016, lot 3211. A related but uninscribed figure of Maitreya was sold in these rooms, 15th September 2010, lot 286.
