Bronze Tibetan Buddhist Deity Statue - Bronze - China - 20th century

Description
A finely cast bronze figure of a three-faced, six-armed protective deity, standing in dynamic pratyalidhasana pose atop an ornate lotus base. Each face bears a fierce, determined expression with wide, all-seeing eyes and bared fangs, crowned by an elaborate foliate tiara. The six arms stretch outward in graceful, powerful symmetry, each hand bearing symbolic mudra or holding sacred attributes: vajra, bell, and ritual implements. Adorned with detailed jewellery, armbands, and beaded necklaces; the rounded belly and draped sash are rendered with confident, fluid lines. The pedestal is richly carved with overlapping lotus petals and scrolling foliate patterns beneath a beaded rim. The bronze retains a warm, softly patinated golden-brown surface, smoothed and deepened by centuries of reverent handling and lamp smoke — a substantial, well-proportioned piece of commanding presence.

Dimensions:
Total height: approx. 23.5 cm
Maximum arm span: approx. 19.5 cm

Condition
Perfect and intact overall; bears only fine, even surface wear, patina variations and gentle rubbing consistent with age, devotional use and display — no losses, cracks, repairs, dents or restoration.
