Chinese Tibetan Ming Dynasty (ca. 1368-1644) gilt bronze tsatsa Buddha Deity figure of Nila Achala, the Immovable One. The Nila is for the removal of obstacles and has especially become associated with the meditational deity Manjushri. Lord Acala, one face, two hands, the left brandishing to the sky a bell and the right at the heart, in a wrathful gesture, holding a vajra, destroying nagas, spirits of disease and earth lords. Wearing a white snake as a necklace, gathering the power of nagas, spirits of disease and earth lords; with black hair, tied in a black tuft on the crown of the head; with jewel ornaments and various silks as a lower garment. The heel of the right foot and the left knee are pressing down on the seat in a manner of rising, dwelling in the center of a flaming mass of pristine awareness fire. The scene depicts encircling heavenly host that is encapsulated by a gilt bronze border. The bronze is bright and lustrous as the light is easily reflected from the well-polished surfaces. Beautiful Ming Gilt Buddha that allures the eye, displaying an amazing level of craftsmanship. Dimensions: 12-7/8" H x 14-3/4" W PROVENANCE: From the private collections of Madame Kimball, of Boston, Massachusetts, by inheritance.
