尼泊爾 十四世紀 銅鎏金佛陀像

This finely-detailed gilt bronze bears the hallmarks of Nepalese craftsmanship in the figure's robust frame and broad features, his rounded ushnisha and lotus bud finial, and the rice grain-patterned hems of his robe. These hems have prominent borders consisting of large, raised beads, drawing attention to them. In a very rare feature, Shakyamuni has been clearly granted a fine, wavy incised mustache.

A very closely related example attributed to a Nepalese school working in Tibet is published in von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculpture in Tibet, Vol. II, Hong Kong, 2001, pp.962-3, no.231C. Its multi-tiered lotus base with tapered foot and double upper rims is almost identical with the present bronze. So are the well-articulated fingers and toes, the tightly-fitted robes, and exceptionally broad shoulders.
