Richly adorned, wearing a diadem and other symbols of divine rank, this Tibetan god sits in majesty. He holds a necklace in his hands as if offering it to an unseen consort. A masterpiece of detail, full of spiritual sensitivity, this sculpture reflects the long tradition of Himalayan bronze work. As an object of devotion, it inspires an inner peace; as a work of art, it delights the senses with its fluid form and regal presence. At once exotic and familiar, it seems to form a bond between the temporal world and the realm of the spirit. - (FZ.220)
