A VERY RARE LARGE GILT-BRONZE SEATED FIGURE OF PADMASAMBHAVA

TIBET, 15TH CENTURY

The figure is depicted seated in dhyanasana on a crisp double-lotus pedestal, with almond-shaped eyes and a raised urna on his forehead. The head is flanked by elongated ears with large rounded earrings and bears a peaked Tantric cap with upturned sides centred with a crescent moon surmounted by a sun. Its robes are finely incised and stippled with lotus blooms and scrolling foliage, the left hand holding a kapala and the right wielding a vajra. Part of the verso of the lotus base is left ungilded. Together with a gilt-bronze khatvanga (trident).

The figure: 17 3/4 in. (45 cm.) high, box

The khatvanga: 14 3/8 in. (36.5 cm.) long, box
