A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF SEATED BUDDHA Yuan Dynasty

This gilt bronze figure wears a three-leaf crown inlaid with various jewels over a top knot. With elegant, white eyebrows and earrings hanging from its ears, it carries a solemn and peaceful expression. The top half of its body is bare. Lotuses cover its shoulders. Magnificent wreaths hang in front of its chest. Armlets are worn across both arms. The left arm is bent at the elbow in front of the chest, while the right arm hangs naturally with palm gently on top of its knee. A dress is draped tightly across its lower body as it sits in a full-lotus posture atop a lotus. This is a unique item depicting Buddha donning a leaf crown whilst wearing a solemn expression. It is indeed a superb figure relic from the Yuan Dynasty.
