Item Details
Description
Measurement: Dia. 20 in. Thickness 1-1/4 in. This was a very rare Ming Dynasty (15th Century) Tibetan Buddhism Mandala. It was made by hammering and carving of a piece of copper sheet by skillful Tibetan Monks. The center was hammered with the Chinese twelve zodiacs. The border was inlaid with precious stones such as corals. This piece was probably made for the imperial temple because of its highly skillful and delicate craftsmanship. Since Wencheng Princess of Tang Dynasty was married to a Tibetan Ruler, the Tibetan Buddhism had a lot of influence by the Chinese culture. As a result, this Tibetan Mandala had indicated such Chinese cultural influence. In fact, this item was indeed a very valuable artifact of the Tibetan Buddhism of the 15th Century.藏传佛教艺术制品非常独特但有时看来却似大同小异,但如细心鉴赏,当会发觉其品质工艺高低分别很大。皇家的制作与民间一般者因经济条件而大为回异,有识之士自然明辨。自从唐朝文成公主出嫁西藏後,显然对西藏以後宗教文化艺术有很大的影响,鉴赏这件曼陀罗当可见一斑。这件藏传佛教曼陀罗艺术品并非溶铜所铸,而是用繁锁和高超工艺堑刻打造而成,应属当时的皇家级别的精品也。
