A FINE CENTRAL TIBETAN GILT-BRONZE SEATED FIGURE OF BUDDHA SAKYAMUNI, 15TH CENTURY
The Buddha is shown touching the earth calling the earth to witness his Enlightenment. This is the most seminal moment in Buddhism. The Buddha's robes are shown in considerable detail - especially on the rear side where the 'patchwork' effect is shown. Indian ascetics were supposed to wear cast-off clothes for their robes to counter a sense of pride. As with many Buddha images his head is blue to reflect the cosmic vastness of his Enlightenment. This crisp and very finely made image still has its original sealed base showing a crossed power-bolt symbol and its blessed contents are still intact. (By Professor David Templeman, Monash University, Melbourne)
十五世紀 西藏銅鎏金佛像
此尊佛像作觸地印，召大地見證其成道，此乃佛教歷史上最具意義之時刻。佛衣刻畫細膩，尤其背部袈裟呈現「拼接」效果。印度苦行者當穿舊衣作袈裟，以抑制驕慢之心。與多數佛像相同，佛頭塗藍，以象徵其覺悟的宇宙廣大。此尊造像線條清晰、工藝精湛，底座仍為原封狀態，印有交叉金剛杵符號，其內聖物完整未損。
