Alkuperä - Provenienssi

One of Sweden’s early legal pioneers who travelled together with Gunnar Andersson in China in the 1920s and 1930s and after that completing legal studies. This individual worked in courts, government agencies, and legal aid, eventually establishing an independent law practice and joining the Swedish Bar Association in the mid-1940s.
Over the following decades, they were deeply involved in a wide range of cultural and international associations. They held leadership positions in legal networks, cultural societies, and international friendship organizations, and played a key role in founding and leading several national and global initiatives. They also chaired a major national council focused on civil society and advocacy work.
In addition to a legal career, this person contributed to academic and international publications on law and cultural studies.

Muut tiedot

The Sanskrit name for the White Umbrella Deity is Ushnisha Sitatapatra [Tib: dü kar] which can also be translated as "The Victorious White Parasol." Her parasol indicates her ability to protect sentient beings from natural catastrophes, diseases, and so forth. She is white in color, because the principal means by which she accomplishes this function is the enlightenment energy of pacification.

Ushnisha Sitatapatra is a female form of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Like him in his elaborate form, she also has a thousand eyes that watch over living beings, and a thousand arms that protect and assist them. Thus she symbolizes the power of active compassion.

In the 18th Century Tibetans frequently used the Indian Pala style (8th-12th Century) as models for their own sculptures.
