注脚
尼泊爾 迦舍摩羅王朝 十三/十四世紀 銅鎏金度母像 The recently identified sculptural tradition of the Khasa Malla Kingdom has sparked great interest among scholars and collectors in the past twenty years. This uplifting figure of Tara exhibits a number of the Khasa Malla's stylistic features, including her well-defined knuckles, high slanted eyebrows, and red-painted lotus base at the rear. Compare the close stylistic treatment of her garments and regalia, including the pleats fanning across the base and large turquoise-inset earrings, with another Khasa Malla Tara in the Ford Collection (Pal, Desire and Devotion, Baltimore, 2001, p.191, no.107).
