A GILT-BRONZE SITTING MAHAVAIROCANA
QING DYNASTY |
Wearing a high bun with an embedded muni orb on top of an elegant face, Mahavairocana radiates solemnness and compassion. An all-seeing third eye sits between her eyebrows. Large earlobes are embellished with flower pendants. Braided hair hangs to shoulder level. A pendant hangs across the naked chest, and a ribbon wraps around both shoulders. Hands are folded together in the diamond position in front of the chest. The figure sits cross legged on top of a lotus pedestal. The entire body of this sitting Mahavairocana is crafted through a repousse and chasing technique. The thick torso makes this a rare Tibetan Buddhism statue. |
