TIBET, 13TH/14TH CENTURYHimalayan Art Resources item no.68442 2 1/2 in. (6.3 cm) high
注脚
西藏 十三/十四世紀 銅鎏金文殊菩薩像Of miniature stature, this figure of Manjushri is superbly modeled and detailed. The Bodhisattva of Transcendental Wisdom has a robust, young body sumptuously adorned with turquoise-inset regalia. The floral patterns incised on his lower garment are redolent of the sizable lotus flowering with a sutra by his left shoulder.Consecrated in the Tibetan manner, this bronze was likely commissioned by a Tibetan patron. However, the deity's broad forehead, sensuous body, and the application of black and red pigments at the back indicate the involvement of a Newari artist.
