NEPALESE BRONZE JAMBHALA - Ca. 19th century AD. A cast bronze figure of Jambhala, the Buddhist god of wealth and prosperity, seated on a double-lotus pedestal. His fierce expression, bulging eyes, and wrathful mien convey protective power. He holds a mongoose (nakula) in his left hand, disgorging jewels, while the right rests upon his knee in a gesture of authority. Adorned with a five-leaf crown, beaded necklaces, and flowing scarves, the deity embodies both ferocity and beneficence.Size: 140mm x 100mm; Weight: 670gProvenance: Private UK Collection
