Standing Shakyamuni Buddha
Tibetan
19th century

Medium/Technique
Distemper and gold on cotton, mounted with silk brocades and cotton backing with wood dowels

画面内容：
释迦牟尼佛立姿，右手结施无畏印，左手结与愿印。身着高度程式化的长袍，周身环绕金色叶纹背光，其上似镶嵌宝石。佛足踏莲，莲茎生于池中。四周环饰宝树、灵石与峰峦。上方有飞天献供。边框以黄红二色绘制。

风格考辨：
佛像与背光的特殊处理方式可能表现的是某尊著名圣像（或源自印度，这与衣褶的程式化表现相符）。历史上曾有檀木雕刻的此类圣像于9或10世纪传入西藏。

Description
Painting in hanging scroll (thangka) format, with no streamers or veil.

Shakyamuni stands with his right hand in abhaya mudra and his left hand in varada mudra. He wears long, highly-stylized robes and is surrounded by a halo of golden foliate design, apparently inlaid with gemstones. He stands on a lotus which arises out of a pond. He is surrounded by jeweled tress, rocks, and mountains. Above are apsarases with offerings. Borders painted in yellow and red. Unusual Buddha figure and halo treatment may represent a celebrated icon, perhaps from India (which would be in keeping with the stylized folds of the garment). One such icon, carved from sandalwood, was brought to Tibet in the 9th or 10th century.

Inscriptions
On reverse, in red paint, in Tibetan: “Om, ah, hum” three times behind central Buddha
