西藏十八世紀 銅金剛薩埵坐像

seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus pedestal, with hands crossed at chest level holding a double vajra and a bell, wearing a neatly pleated dhoti, jewelry and a fluttering scarf, the serene face flanked by ribbons hanging from the tiara encircling the tall chignon

Apart from some minor casting flaws around the lower and upper edges of the lotus pedestal, and wear to the face, and general wear consistent with age, the piece appears to be in good overall condition. The base plate is missing.
