克什米爾 十一/十二世紀 及 藏西 十三世紀 《般若波羅蜜多經》經頁二頁The first page depicts Buddha seated before a multi-colored aureole and blue background. It is from an 11th/12th-century, 8,000-stanza Prajnaparamita translated and edited by the Indian masters Shakyasena and Matashila. In discussion of the second page, which depicts Buddha seated on a throne, Kapstein notes, "The elaborate throne merits comparison with several of the Nesar (Dolpo) manuscripts studied in Heller Hidden Treasures of the Himalayas, Chicago, 2009, pp. 117 and 122, figs. 81 & 84), though in the present case the realisation is notably less refined. The manuscript is also of interest for the dbu med annotations in the last three lines, which record the results of an inventory of the collection of which it was part."
