A LARGE GiILT-LACQUERED WOOD FIGURE OF BUDDHA MING/QING DYNASTY, 17TH/18TH CENTURY

seated in dhyanasana, the hands in bhumisparsa and dhyana mudras, wearing a diaphanous robe over the left shoulder which falls in graceful curves around the lower body, the face with serene expression and framed by the hair arranged in tightly wound rows of blue painted curls rising to a domed ushnisha
