Four-armed Bodhisattva In Gilded Bronze – Nepal, Newar Art, 18th–19th Century
A four-armed bronze bodhisattva with traces of gilding, from Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley, dating from the 18th–19th centuries. This sculpture belongs to the Newar tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism.
The deity sits on a lotus pedestal separate from the figure. The four arms hold various ritual attributes, including a lamp, a lotus bud, and a flame-shaped emblem. The face, crown, and jewelry contribute to the depiction of a bodhisattva figure.
The work is cast in the lost-wax technique from a copper-tin alloy and finished by hand. Traces of fire gilding remain in the protected areas.
Condition: signs of age, softened contours, natural oxidation, and partially preserved gilding. The examination report finds no evidence of modern restoration.
