MING DYNASTY (1368-1644)
The deity is cast seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus throne, the right hand raised in abhaya mudra, the gesture of teaching, and the left hand holding a cup. The figure has downcast eyes and hair upswept into a top knot surmounted by a flower bud beneath an elaborate tiered crown, two long plaits falling down each shoulder. The figure wears long flowing robes open at the chest to reveal a beaded necklace. The hems of the robe are finely detailed with flower heads and an incised foliate scroll and the folds are skillfully rendered. The reverse of the base bears an incised 26-character inscription that reads "Daming zhengtong jiu nian mengchun shi you liu ri fa xin shanren ? Yinjin dao you sun liujinjia zao" dating it to the ninth year of the reign of Zhengtong, corresponding to 1444.
