QIANLONG AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)

The monk intricately carved with two legs pendant, wearing lose robes tied at the waist with a tasseled string, the head turned right and slightly tilted upwards, flanked at the sides with a pair of lobed ears with circular earrings, the hands holding a weighted string on both ends, overall gilded in gold. Another figure of Shakyamuni Buddha seated in vajrasana on a triangular twelve lotus petals pedestal, dressed in a plain robe draped over the left shoulder and falling in folds, the serene face with delicate features framed by a pair of long pendulous ear, the hair arranged in regular rows of tight snail curls whorls surmounted by a domed usnisa.
