Antique Tibetan Bronze Buddha Statue
Padmapani
Holder of Lotus
Origin: Tibet, Circa: 19th century
H 11.5 in.(29cm), W 4 in.(10cm), D 3.25 in.(8cm)
Solid bronze in excellent condition

A rare Padmapani showing distinct signs of both Pala and Napalese influences. The deity is cast in three metals and aged in a beautiful multi-hued bronze. The slim figure, protruding nipple, and tiered base suggest a strong Indian stylistic influence while the inscriptions and artistry suggest its Tibetan origins. Etched on the base are indicators of Vajrayan Buddhism; the front bearing an etching of the chakra (wheel), and the sides bearing etchings of vajras, the diamond hard weapon symbolizing the indestructible nature of the enlightened mind.

Standing on a lotus plinth, Padmapani stands in tribhanga posture, a posture in which the figure is oppositely curved at the waist and neck to form a gentle "S" shape. He wears a sanghati wrapped around his waist, superbly etched with various designs of flower heads, swirls and triangles. Foliate patterned bands wrap the upper portions of his arms and continue in this motif, from his earrings up to his tiara. The brass is shined with different hues, creating accents on particular spots like his nipple, third eye, belt, and necklace. A lotus flower rises at the crook of his left elbow, while cords loop and curl across the width of his chest. A benign expression graces Padmapani’s face.
