A Large Gilt Bronze Figure of Vajradhara
Tibet, 15th Century
Seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base with scrolled tips and beaded rim, his hands holding his attributes of a vajra and ghanta with arms crossed in vajrahumkara mudra, wearing flaring sashes and a garment falling in pleats around his knees, beaded trefoil belt, foliate bracelets, armlets, necklace with pendent jewels, quatrefoil earrings and five-plumed headdress all inlaid with turquoise, his face in a gentle demeanor with arched brows centered by a turquoise inlaid urna and lips in a slight smile crowned by curled strands with hair in a braided bun surmounted by an inlaid cintamani, his headdress centered by a kirttimukha mask; the base sealed with incised visvavajra and with red lacquer on reverse and underneath
15¾ in. (40 cm.) high

此尊造像结跏趺坐于双层仰覆莲座上，莲瓣尖端卷曲，饰连珠纹边。双手于胸前交叉结金刚哞迦罗印，分持金刚杵与金刚铃。飞扬的帛带与膝间垂落的褶裥衣袍相映成趣，连珠三叶饰腰带、叶纹臂钏、璎珞串珠垂饰、四叶花形耳珰及五翎宝冠皆镶嵌绿松石。面容慈和，弯眉间嵌绿松石白毫，唇角含笑，发髻编辫成束，顶饰镶嵌如意宝珠。宝冠中央饰迦楼罗面。底座錾刻交杵纹，背面及底部施朱漆

Lot Essay
While the facial features are distinctly Tibetan, this piece was likely commissioned from a Nepalese craftsman, with the base lacquered red on the reverse being a specifically Nepalese characteristic.

尽管面部特征具有鲜明的藏地风格，此作品很可能由尼泊尔匠师受托制作——背面施朱漆的底座正是典型的尼泊尔工艺特征。
