約十五世紀 藏傳鎏金銅捶揲迦樓羅坐像

This finely modelled and gilded copper figure of Garuda was likely part of the apex of a massive repoussé throne arch (torana), such as those examples recorded by Giuseppi Tucci at Sakya monastery while still intact in the first half of the twentieth century, see Tucci, Transhimalaya, Geneva, 1973, figs. 173, 174. The exquisite workmanship is typical of Newar craftsmen employed throughout Tibet and China in this period.

此鎏金銅錘揲迦樓羅坐像製作精巧，工藝非凡，推測應為巨型寶座拱門頂端的華美裝飾。類似之作品在二十世紀上半葉尚可見於薩迦寺，並由Giuseppi Tucci記錄於其著作《Transhimalaya》（日內瓦，1973年），圖版173、174。此像展現當時受聘於西藏及中國的紐瓦爾工匠精湛卓越的技藝，為當時匠師技法之典範。
