品相报告:
The figure is in overall good condition. Figure and base are made separately. The base has been open and closed again in the past. There are three small openings to the back of the figure and its head and two additional holes on the back of the base suggesting something was attached that is now missing. There is a ca. 8.5 x 2cm large casting flaw to the left side of the figure's back and several hairline cracks extending from the rim of the base upwards into the base at the back of the base. There are traces of lacquer-gilding to the neck and face and traces of bright blue pigment to the hair.

Provenance
Philip Goldman Collection.
Sotheby’s New York, 21st March 2002, lot 81.

Catalogue Note
The design of the necklace jewel pendants and the use of copper inlay have their origins in eastern Indian eleventh and twelfth century Pala period bronzes such as a series of Tathagata bronzes in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, see Buddhist Statues of Tibet: The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, vol. 60, Hong Kong, 2003, pp. 70-5, pls. 68-72. Compare the pronounced physiognomy of the Vajrasattva with a thirteenth or fourteenth century copper-inlaid Buddha bronze, ibid., p. 161, pl. 153.
