Tibetan gilt and solid bronze statue studded with semi-precious stones sitting in Lotus position on his throne. Lapis lazuli blue hair, flesh tones. The fine detail in facial expression, especially the eyes and mouth is evident even in these photos. The mandorla or flame aureola & the upright sword suggests this may be a wrathful divinity, possibly a Manjusri Bodhisttva such as Fudo Myo-o or emanation of Acalantha. With his removable gilt sword and ornate backdrop, this piece is superb. Circa 18th century. Quote Reference Number: 1010
