描述
- bronze
seated in characteristic pose with right hand raised to the ear and holding a kapala containing a ratna jewel in his left hand, with a meditation band around his chest inlaid with copper and picked out with silver flower heads, his eyes inlaid with silver and copper and the urna inset with a turquoise, his long hair swept back and folding to the shoulders behind, seated on a flayed antelope skin draped over a lotus pedestal with an inscription running around the lower rim reading "salutations to the Reverend Milarepa", the base sealed with a consecration plate engraved with a visvavajra
Condition
The figure is generally in good condition. There is some expected surface wear through handling and the definition is somewhat lost on the inlaid silver flower head of the meditation band (showing on the illustration in the catalogue). There are some old cracks and casting faults around the right arm. The turquoise urna is likely to have been replaced. The consecration plate is possibly replaced, or just have been loosed and fixed with wax. There are traces of gold paints on the face and the neck and remains of black enamel in the hair.

拍品資料及來源
本品底刻梵銘，尊密勒日巴上師，意表無盡虔敬。
密勒日巴上師，西藏瑜伽密教之典型，示現凡人修佛之真諦。少時習學巫術，造下黑業。後尋馬爾巴上師，求修佛法，以消惡種。從佛之初，上師待之極酷，意在練其體膚、磨其心志，終以灌頂口訣授之，助其修成正果，又創詩歌經典，無上佛音，千年傳唱不斷。可比一相類藏傳十五世紀作例，藏 Rietberg 博物館收藏，見 Helmut Uhlig，《On the path to Enlightenment》，蘇黎世，1995年，頁182，圖版126。
