Bronze gilded green statue of Buddha’s mother

[Bronze gilded green seated statue of Buddha’s mother of salvation]

Bronze gilded green seated statue of Buddha’s mother of salvation, Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, with a height of 25.6 cm and a bottom width of 16.3 cm. The old collection of the Qing Palace
With a gentle smile on her face, she leans her head slightly to the right, sits on the lotus seat in a right comfortable manner, and steps on the lotus with her right foot. The breasts are slightly protruding, and the female characteristics are not obvious, which is quite different from the Tibetan works with large breasts and small waist, which shows the aesthetic characteristics of Buddhist art in Han under the influence of Confucianism. The left hand pulls the lotus stem in front of the chest, and the thumb and the ring finger twist together to apply the Yiyin. Place your right hand on your right knee to make a vow. There are two blooming lotus flowers on both sides of the body. The inscription of “Da Ming Xuan De Nian Xian” inscribed on the table in the middle of the lotus seat is a word different from the common “Da Ming Xuan De Nian Shi”, which has a very different meaning and is worthy of in-depth study.
