Lot 81: A Tibetan Gold Gilt Bronze Figure of Jambhala, 18th-19th Century

A Sino-Tibetan gold gilt bronze figure of Jambhala, dating to the 18th-19th century. This small, cast figure depicts a plump, child-like deity or mythological figure seated on a double-lotus pedestal. The figure, rendered in a traditional South Asian or Himalayan style, has a benevolent, smiling expression, a bare torso, and minimal adornment, with the right arm raised in a gesture of offering or blessing. Visible around the back of the base is Tibetan script, which translates to the mantra ‘Om Bishwa Guru Hum.’
