YONGLE INCISED SIX-CHARACTER PRESENTATION MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1403-1424) The deity is seated majestically with legs crossed in dhyanasana, the hands in dhyana mudra, held above the thighs and holding a kalasa. The rounded face is finely modelled with an urna between the arched eyebrows with eyes downcast providing a benevolent expression, the hair swept back in a topknot behind an elaborate crown with short sashes tied behind the ears, wearing a shawl over the broad shoulders revealing a bare torso festooned with complex beaded jewellery chains, the long dhoti secured by a belt decorated with rosettes around the narrow waist. The front of the beaded double-lotus base is incised with a six-character presentation mark, Daming Yongle Nianshi, ‘Bestowed in the Yongle period of the Great Ming Dynasty’. 7 in. (18 cm) high
