A silver alloy figure of Vajradhara

Wearing elaborately chased silks, his mantle descends into foliate scrolls by his side.
4 3/4 in. (12.1 cm) high

西藏 約十六世紀 金剛總持銀像
古比特佛像网, 编号: 金刚总持:金刚总持126

Worked in meticulous detail, Vajradhara's lower garment silks are incised with fine foliate designs and fall in naturalistic pleats over his legs. His jewels and prominent crown would have been inset with precious stones.

In discussion of a closely related figure of Mahapratisara in the Nyingjei Lam Collection, Weldon and Casey note, 'Silver, a precious and expensive metal, was used only rarely and - apparently - for special commissions in Tibet' (The Sculptural Heritage of Tibet, London, 1999, p. 124, pl. 29).
