Nepal, 19th to early 20th century. Cast seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base, holding a vessel containing the elixir of life in one hand and a vajra in the other, the khatvanga cradled in his right arm, wearing a five-petalled lotus crown with a vajra top, the face showing a wrathful expression with a subtle smile, eyes gazing upwards, and an urna, flanked by ears with long circular earrings. Two loops to the back for attachment in the temple.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, some losses to the base, small nicks here and there, traces of gilt. Provenance: Austrian private collection.
