other
37.5 cm (14.75 in)
Benny Rustenburg, acquired in Hong Kong in 1993
The figure is modelled seated in dhyanasana on a deeply cast double-lotus base, the hands holding a vajra and ghanta crossed in front of the chest. The deity is wearing a dhoti and a shawl draped over the bare torso; both garments are subtly edged with incised floral motif. Variously adorned with lavish jewellery, some are inlaid with hardstones. The handsome face is portrayed with heavy-lidded eyes, aquiline nose and a raised urna. The head is crowned by a five-petalled tiara and with an elaborate chignon fastened by a jewel-finial, with further strands of hair falling on either side of the shoulders. The baseplate is sealed.
