A PARCEL-GLIT-LACQUERED BRONZE FIGURE OF AMOGHASIDDHI BUDDHA

QIANLONG CAST SEVEN-CHARACTER MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)

The stand is cast with a seven-character mark on the raised platform and incised on the front of the base with a three-character inscription reading chengjiufo, 'Amoghasiddhi'; and a six-character incription on the back of the base reading wushang yangti genben, 'anuttara-yogatantra (pha rgyud)'.
