A painted clay figure of Buddha Shakyamuni
Tibet, 18th century
Seated in vajrasana on a lotus stand, placed on a throne. His right hand making an earth-touch gesture while his left hand rests on his lap and holds a begging bowl. He is dressed in a monks habit and hung with jewellery. His face has a serene expression and his head wears a crown, backed by a flaming nimbus.
