Övrig information
The present figure shares aesthetic aspects such as the tall chignon and the heavily draped robes characteristic of the figures created in or around the thriving Buddhist centre of Dolonnor in Inner Mongolia. The city as a site of cultural exchange between the imperial court and the Mongols received strong patronage from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors.
