A FINE AND RARE KHASA MALLA KINGDOM GILT BRONZE SEATED BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, 14TH/15TH CENTURY
The figure is seated in vajrasana on a lotus-base with his right hand lowered in the bhumisparshamudra while the left is resting on his lap, wearing monastic garment including a mantle covering his left shoulder secured with a small section draped over this shoulder in the shape of a swallow's tail, his face displaying a serene expression with downcast eyes below arched eyebrows running into his nose-bridge, raised urna at his fore-head, blue-coloured curled hair-dress continuing into the ushnisha and topped with a lotus-bud, resealed.
A similar bronze is preserved on the collection of the Hermitage published in '108 Images of Buddha‘, Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Peter the Great Kunstkamera), St. Petersburg, 2014, pp. 118-119, no. 5942-131.
卡薩瑪拉王國（14–15世紀，尼泊爾西部）銅鎏金釋迦牟尼佛坐像
佛像結跏趺坐於蓮座之上，右手施觸地印，左手安於膝上，身披袈裟，左肩覆以燕尾形披肩，面容寧靜，雙目低垂，眉弓連鼻樑，額心飾白毫，青色螺髮高聳成螺髻，頂飾蓮苞，底部封板。
類似作品藏於聖彼得堡人類學與民族學博物館（庫恩斯特卡梅拉），出版於《佛陀的一百零八種形象》，2014年，頁118–119，編號5942-131。
源流：
德國巴伐利亞私人收藏，1969年購自Schoettle東方藝廊；
新南威爾士重要私人收藏。
出版：
Schoettle Ostasiatica，斯圖加特，1969年秋季，編號4672，頁36。
備註：
此尊小巧而精緻的造像描繪釋迦牟尼佛，以左手觸地，召喚大地為其證明成道。佛陀微微俯首，端坐於華麗的蓮座之上。其衣紋細膩，神情恬淡，且通體施以相對厚重的金層，皆為尼泊爾西部風格之典型特徵。十三世紀晚期至十五世紀間，卡薩瑪拉王朝鼓勵工匠——多為自加德滿都俘獲而來——創作出最為優美的佛教造像，其中不少作為貢品被送往西藏。
此尊底座仍保存著疑似原始封板，因此其內所藏的聖物依然完整無缺。此類作品的蓮座背後，往往可見塗施紅色顏料的痕跡，用以標識其產地。
