拍品描述：
A BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA AMOGHASIDDHI, TIBET, 14TH-15TH CENTURY
Finely cast seated in dhyanasana atop a double-lotus base with beaded rims, his right hand raised in abhaya mudra and his left lowered above the lap. The deity wears a long flowing robe gathering in neatly detailed folds at the left shoulder and top of the base. His face with a serene expression marked by downcast eyes centered by a raised circular urna and full lips forming a subtle smile. The hair arranged in tight curls over the ushnisha topped by a jewel.
Provenance:
Collection of Professor Ferdinando Cappelletti, Rome, acquired during the 1990s in Paris. A copy of a provenance statement signed by Ferdinando Cappelletti, dated 19 December 2024, confirming the above, accompanies this lot

Condition:
Good condition with expected ancient wear and casting irregularities including small casting fissures as well as old metal fills and casting patches, most probably inherent to the manufacture. Light dents, small nicks, surface scratches, a minuscule loss to the back at the top of the base, the base unsealed.
Weight: 617.3 g
Dimensions: Height 16 cm
