Over the centuries, the master sculptors of Tibet
produced a rich legacy of metalwork. With
graceful lines and a superb attention to detail,
they rendered the numerous deities of the
Himalayan pantheon. As objects of devotion,
these sculptures radiate a serene spiritual
energy; as works of art, their appeal crosses all
crosses all cultural boundaries. This splendid
miniature depicts a richly-robed deity seated in
meditation on a double lotus throne. Its aura of
peaceful calm speaks directly to the heart.
