A HIGHLY IMPORTANT AND VERY RARE
MALLA-STYLE GILT-BRONZE AND
SILVER-INLAID SEATED FIGURE OF
BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI

TIBET, 13TH-14TH CENTURY

The majestic deity is superbly cast seated in dhyanasana with
his hands in bhumisparsa mudra, wearing an intricately executed
patchwork robe over his left shoulder with silver-inlaid beaded
rims, the robe gathered in cascading folds at the shoulder and at his
ankles, his rounded face with downcast eyes, bow-shaped mouth
flanked by long pendulous ear lobes, his hair arranged in tight curls
rising to a domed ushnisha, richly gilt overall, the figure retains the
original consecrated materials sealed with a gilt base plate incised
with a lotus flowerhead.
15 æ in. (40 cm.) high
