This print showcases the exquisite Figure of Vairochana, a masterpiece created by the Tibetan School in the 14th century. Standing at a height of 29.2 cm, this gilt bronze sculpture is an embodiment of celestial beauty and spiritual wisdom. Seated gracefully in Dhyanasana on a double-lotus base, Vairochana emanates an aura of tranquility and enlightenment. The intricate details on this ornate figure are truly mesmerizing; from the jeweled adornments to the meticulously crafted lion throne beneath him, every element exudes opulence and grandeur. With hands delicately positioned in the teaching gesture, Vairochana symbolizes his role as a revered teacher within Buddhism. His attire includes a striated dhoti that adds elegance to his divine presence. The photograph captures not only the gold-gilded magnificence but also highlights its intricate inlaid work. This figurine serves as a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion prevalent during that period.
