Rare black stone sculpture with polychrome lacquer depicting an unidentified Master. The character is dressed in bright monastic robes with complex red and gold decorations that suggest his high lineage. He carries an offering bowl in his left hand while the right hand is in the Bhumisparsamudra gesture. He is seated on a single lotus base which, in turn, rests on a throne embellished with two elephants and a Kalasa. Behind the master there is also an intricate, finely carved prabha, decorated with Makara, lions and a small miniature of Amitayus at its peak.
