The Buddha Shakyamuni Seated upon an Elaborate Lotus Throne with Shakyamuni Repeated in Corners
Lamaist-Tibetan (西藏密宗)
18th century

Description
Painting in hanging scroll (thangka) format, with streamers, veil and decorative stitched borders, belongs to a set of eleven thangkas.

Painting with decorative borders, mounted on support panel. Would have originally been in thangka format. Shakyamuni Buddha sits with his right hand in bhumisparsa mudra and his left hand in dhyana mudra. He has a chakra on the palm of his hand. He sits on an elaborate lotus throne and emanates green and blue light rays. The throne back consists of foliage populated by elephants, lions, kinnaras, and makaras. There is an offering table before the Buddha. Below, two monks, the disciples of the Buddha stand holding staffs and begging bowls. Above the Buddha is a Garuda holding a jewel and a canopy. To the left and right are Buddhas making the dharmachakra mudra. At the bottom of the painting, two deer appear beside a dharmachakra on a lotus, amidst offerings.

释迦牟尼佛右手结触地印，左手结禅定印，掌心显法轮纹。身下为精雕莲花宝座，周身放射青绿光芒。背光饰以繁缛卷草纹，其间隐现大象、狮子、紧那罗与摩羯鱼形象。佛前设供桌，下方侍立两位持杖托钵的佛弟子比丘。佛陀上方绘迦楼罗衔珠擎盖，左右两侧各有结法轮印的化佛。画面底部，双鹿伴莲座法轮呈现于供品之中。
