A silver alloy figure of Vajradhara

4 3/4 in. (12.1 cm) high

西藏 約十六世紀 金剛總持銀像
佛像网, 编号: 金刚总持:金刚总持126

Worked in meticulous detail, Vajradhara's lower garment silks are incised with fine foliate designs and fall in naturalistic pleats over his legs. His jewels and prominent crown would have been inset with precious stones.

In discussion of a closely related figure of Mahapratisara in the Nyingjei Lam Collection, Weldon and Casey note, 'Silver, a precious and expensive metal, was used only rarely and - apparently - for special commissions in Tibet' (The Sculptural Heritage of Tibet, London, 1999, p. 124, pl. 29).

此尊金刚总持造像工艺精绝，下裳丝绸质感逼真，其上錾刻细腻的叶饰纹样，衣褶自然地垂覆于双腿。其华美璎珞与高耸宝冠原应皆镶嵌宝石。

在探讨宁杰林收藏中一尊风格极为相近的大随求佛母像时，韦尔登与凯西指出：“白银作为一种珍贵且昂贵的金属，在西藏极少使用，且似乎仅用于特定定制造像”（《西藏雕塑遗产》，伦敦，1999年，第124页，图版29）。
