I think the Kannon sculptures are my favorite. There’s some creative math that goes into it. Kannon is said (or sometimes is said) to have 1,000 arms. Trying to sculpt this is tricky. Kannon with 1000 arms will be depicted with 40 arms, with the idea that each arm saves 25 worlds, so the 40 arms seen are actually 1000.
