A RARE BRONZE GROUP WITH SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA, Tibet, 18th / 19th century

h cm 27,5

The sculpture depicts a scene from the life of the Buddha. At the base of the group, a finely repoussé Garuda head supports a throne, on which a vajra is placed in the foreground. Behind it rises a pedestal upheld by two deities, upon which the Buddha Shakyamuni is seated in meditation on a lotus base, with his hands in the bhumisparsha mudra. He is surrounded by full-relief celestial musicians and celebratory figures, all framed within a richly decorated floral mandorla.
