This partly gilt bronze figure represents the Buddha Ratnasambhava and was made in Tibet. Buddha Ratnasambhava is associated with the southern part of the world and is one of the Adi-Urbuddhas, as the embodiment of the total truth. He stands in samabhanga on a lotus throne, which is decorated with ornate leaves in relief. The base is sealed underneath with a double vajra symbol.



Buddha shows with his right hand the gesture of wish granting, varada mudra, whereby his finger-tips are directed towards the earth. The left hand is raised and a round bowl can be found in it. The pleated robe covers both shoulders. The finely engraved seams are accented with gold and border the garment. The deity has a slightly smiling facial expression and the third eye urna, is visible in the middle of the forehead. Small curls cover his head and form an usnisha with small ketmumala.



The bronze figure is in good condition with natural patina and slight signs of age and wear. Gold abrasion and a few scratches can be seen. The height is 17 cm, the width 7.5 cm and the depth 6 cm.
