A SET OF TWO SEATED BRONZE AND GILT-BRONZE GURUS <br/>MING DYNASTY

Right: This gilded figure wears a ceremonial hat on his head. The ears of the hat are draped across his shoulders. With almond eyes, thick eyebrows, a mustache, and a thin beard, his expression is much focused. Dressed in a robe, his right shoulder is bared and his right breast is exposed. His left arm is in front of his chest and his hand signals a Mudra. His right arm hangs above his knee, while his hand reveals a Varada-Mudra. Crossing his legs, he sits in the lotus position. Petals cover his pedestal and Tibetan words are written across the seat edge.

Left: With a high forehead, knitted eyebrows, and wrinkles on the corner of his eyes, this figure gives off a genial appearance. Dressed in a vest, a robe hangs over his right shoulder revealing a bit of skin. The sleeves contain an engraved pattern with uneven spacing. Hands raised in front of his chest, he signals a Mudra. Crossing his legs, he sits in the lotus position. Petals cover his pedestal and Tibetan words are written across the seat edge.
