A BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA
LATE MING-EARLY QING DYNASTY, 16TH-17TH CENTURY
The Buddha is seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base with his hands held in vitarka
mudra. He is clad in ornate, patchwork robes, each patch decorated with a raised blossom.
The face is serene, with gentle smile and downcast eyes, and the hair arranged in rows of tight
whorls surmounted by a domed ushnisha.
