A Small Sino-Tibetan Gilt Bronze Figure of Seated Buddha Shakyamuni
16TH/17TH CENTURY
明末-清初 銅鎏金釋迦牟尼坐像
the well-cast figure depicted seated in a vajraparyankasana posture on a tiered double-lotus base, with hands held in dhyanamudra, cloaked in a pleated robe draping over the left shoulder before pooling in folds at the ankles. The oblong face with serene eyes downcast toward a soft smile between pendulous earlobes beneath tightly coiled hair rising to an ushnisha surmounted by a spherical jewel.
