Sino-Tibetan, 1644-1912. Cast seated in dhyanasana on a sealed double-lotus base, the hands lowered in dhyanamudra and holding a vessel containing the elixir of life, the body richly adorned in jewelry, set with many turquoises and corals, the face with a meditative expression with downcast eyes, an urna, and a subtle smile, flanked by long ears, the hair tightly coiled around an ushnisha behind an elaborate crown, several strands of hair falling over the shoulders.
Condition: Very good condition with minor traces of wear, some minor wear to gilt, small nicks here and there. Provenance: Australian private collection. Acquired by the collector’s father in the 1990s from a British gentleman who relocated to Western Australia in the 1960s.
