明十六世紀 藏傳鎏金銅佛坐像

seated in vajraparyankasana, the right hand held in bhumisparshamudra and the left in dhyanamudra, wearing a singling tight-fitting robe draped over the left shoulder and hemmed with beads, the serene face with downcast eyes and a meditative expression, flanked by a pair of long pendulous earlobes cut with vertical slots, the head and domed usnisa covered with tight curls and surmounted by a jewel, all supported on a double lotus pedestal, the base unsealed

There is some expected wear or pitting to the gilding in areas, predominantly on the right forearm and knees (showing in the catalogue illustration), but overall the figure is in good condition. The base is unsealed.
