Dimensions Height: 16,6 cm Wide 11,5 cm Depth 8,5 cm Weight: 1022,3 grams This finely cast and gilded bronze figure represents Prajnaparamita, the personification of transcendent wisdom (Prajna), a central deity in Mahayana Buddhism. Seated in dhyanasana (meditative pose) atop a double-lotus pedestal, the multi-armed goddess exudes serenity and divine elegance. Her four arms symbolize her enlightened wisdom and her role as the "Mother of all Buddhas." Two hands are in the vitarka mudra (gesture of teaching), while the others hold symbolic objects, indicative of her association with the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras. Adorned with an elaborate crown, earrings, and necklaces, the figure’s body is further embellished with inlaid turquoise and ruby-like stones, representing spiritual purity and compassion. The sculptor’s attention to detail is evident in the graceful contours of the face, the flowing sash-like adornments, and the delicately rendered jewelry. The gilding has been preserved remarkably well, suggesting meticulous care and reverence for this sacred piece. This style of artwork is typically found in Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhist art from the 11th to 15th centuries, where such gilded and jeweled sculptures were commissioned for temples or meditation spaces. The inlaid turquoise and ruby-like stones enhance her divine attributes, representing purity, compassion, and wisdom.Her serene facial expression and crossed legs indicate her deep state of meditation and focus, embodying wisdom and spiritual understanding.This extraordinary depiction of Prajnaparamita is not only a work of art but also a testament to the spiritual and cultural significance of Buddhist wisdom traditions This figure exemplifies the high craftsmanship of the Tibeto-Nepalese Buddhist tradition, renowned for its detailed bronze casting and ornamentation. The iconography of Prajnaparamita is particularly significant, as she represents the ultimate realization of wisdom—a central tenet in Mahayana Buddhism.Comparable pieces have appeared in major sales at Sotheby’s and Christie’s, achieving strong results due to their cultural importance and exceptional artistry.
