Seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base with a vajra before him, his right hand lowered in bhumisparshamudra and his left hand in varadamudra, wearing a flowing sanghati with the borders incised on the outside and stippled on the inside, his face with heavy-lidded eyes and a benevolent expression flanked by long pendulous lobes, richly gilt overall. Height 17,5 cm.

Provenance

From the Collection of Carl Leijonhuvud (1885-1961), married to Anna Sofia Clara Helena Elisabeth Wrede af Eliminää (1896-1987) in 1919. Carl had a diplomatic career and came out to China in the early 1920’s as a member of the Swedish Diplomatic corps. Chargé d’affair in Peking from 1924. He returned to Europe in 1930 when he was posted in London. The pieces were acquired during the period he was posted out in Peking.
