A VERY RARE AND FINELY CAST GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF MAITREYA

INCISED YONGLE SIX-CHARACTER PRESENTATION MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1403-1425)

The figure is wearing a flowing dhoti tied at waist and sash over the shoulders revealing the chest adorned with beaded pendent jewellery. The face provides a benevolent expression with painted eyes and lips, his hair worn in braids and curling topknot with loose strands falling over the shoulders. The upper surface of the base is incised with a six-character mark, Da Ming Yongle nian shi, ‘Bestowed in the Great Ming Yongle period’.
