A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA Ming Dynasty
This gilt bronze figure has a thick gold coating. Sakyamuni Buddha possesses high, spiralling hair and a crown of jewelry, as well as an all-seeing third eye between the eyebrows. Beads hanging from both ears seem to form a square with the head. With curved eyebrows and a smiling face, Sakyamuni Buddha wears a solemn expression. A tightly-fitted thin robe hangs over the right shoulder. The figure's left hand strikes a meditative gesture, whilst the right hand forms the gestures touching the earth. The figure sits cross legged atop a lotus pedestal.
