Item id: 6789

Extraordinary large 1-16th Tibetan Copper Repousse Bodhisattva. Deeply serene, beautiful face. Wide base with very wide petals, and thin body chacteristic of the 14-16th centuries. In remarkable condition- absolutely complete, with no repairs. Very early for a repousse piece- especially to still be so complete. Some Minor bending and settling (note how the figure has settled under its own weight into the base by almost an inch). Beautiful detail to the fingers and jewelry. Retains most of it's original gilding. I believe if it were to be cleaned that much of the building would still be there under the accumulated gunk. You are unlikely to encounter another as nice- especially in this condition and large size. The only thing missing is the original back plate, which is long gone. Beautiful Bottom, which has been opened, but which does appear to be original, and does have contents inside. Sits an impressive 13 inches tall (33cm), 10 inches wide, 8.75 inches deep. Very special!

Not inexpensive.
