十八世紀 藏傳鎏金銅四臂度母坐像

seated in lalitasana on a stepped base encircled with pendent overlapping trilobate petals, the multi-armed divinity with two hands joined in front of her chest in namaskara mudra and two others in vitarka mudra by her sides, her gentle face detailed with small bud lips and almond-shaped eyes set in a benevolent expression, crowned with a tiara in front of the high chignon and dressed in a bejewelled dhoti embellished overall with turquoise beads

There is some expected occasional tarnishing, mild pitting or light oxidization to the gilding in areas but overall the figure is in very good condition. Some of the turquoise beads are likely to be later replacements and the base has been resealed.
