A gilt copper figure of Vajradhara
Tibet, 15th/16th Century
The Adibuddha seated dhyanasana and displaying the vajrahumkara mudra (hands crossed and holding a vajra and ghanta), the youthful visage juxtaposed by an elaborate headdress encircling a tall black-painted topknot surmounted by a five-prong vajra, the bodhisattva ornaments inlaid with semi-precious stones, a short Tibetan inscription on the verso (traces of original pigment, wear to gilt, unsealed).
Height 8in (20.3cm)

此尊本初佛结禅定坐姿，双手交叉结金刚哞迦罗印，分持金刚杵与金刚铃。其面容年轻，头戴华丽宝冠，冠中高耸的发髻施以黑彩，顶端饰有五股金刚杵。菩萨装璎珞镶嵌半宝石，像背镌刻短篇藏文题记（残留原始彩绘痕迹，鎏金局部磨损，底部未封藏）。
