Description
A SINO-TIBETAN BRONZE-GILT FIGURE OF STANDING BEGTSE CHEN
Begtse Chen is one of the eight Dharmapala, associated with the Nyingma and Geluk orders. He is named for the great copper coat of mail he wears, which is prominently featured in this dynamic sculpture. The figure is well cast, standing defiantly with one foot on the abdomen of a horse and the other on a man, all above the lotus pedestal. He is wearing armour, with right hand wielding a sword with scorpion handle, and left holding a heart up to his gaping mouth. His ferocious expression enhanced by flame-like hair and skull tiara.
Dimension: 14x7x16.5 cm. Weight 1431 grams.
