A SILVER- AND COPPER-INLAID BRONZE FIGURE OF A BODHISATTVA

Traces of blue polychromy at the hair and cold gold at the face and neck indicate that this unidentified bodhisattva was later absorbed into a Tibetan collection. It was also later incised with the Tibetan numeral “3” at the back of the throne, indicating the position of the bronze within a larger set.
