Tibetan Gilt Bronze Buddha Figure with Prayer Scroll:
A stunning 15th-16th century Tibetan gilt bronze Buddha figure, embodying the spiritual and artistic brilliance of Himalayan Buddhist culture. The Buddha is depicted seated in dhyanasana (meditation pose) atop a double-lotus base, with the right hand extended downward in Bhumisparsha Mudra (Touching the Earth gesture), symbolizing the moment of enlightenment and the Buddha�s call to the Earth as witness. The left hand rests gently in the lap, emphasizing serenity and meditation. The figure is richly adorned with flowing robes rendered in exquisite detail and retains much of its original gilding, offering a warm, radiant patina. Blue pigment accents to the head, likely derived from lapis lazuli, remain visible, underscoring its sacred iconography and artistic refinement. A particularly rare feature of this piece is its hollow interior, which houses a prayer scroll�a sacred artifact often inscribed with mantras or Buddhist scriptures, further enhancing its spiritual and historical significance. This extraordinary piece is a masterful representation of Tibetan Buddhist art and devotion, offering immense historical, cultural, and spiritual value for discerning collectors and connoisseurs.
