A gilt copper alloy figure of Ushnishavijaya
Tibet, 18th century
Of standard iconography consisting of three heads and eight arms cast and drilled to hold or support varied liturgical implements now all lost but for the kalasa supported in the lower-most left hand just above the upturned soles crossed in dhyanasana, the figure adorned in turquoise cabochons and embellished by pigments and 'cold-gold,' raised atop a separately-cast tall plinth fronted by a sharply cast lotus blossom border and sealed by a visvajra metal plate to the underside.
