With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970s
With the downward motion of his right hand, Buddha Shakyamuni summons the Earth Goddess to witness his enlightenment. The vajra resting before his ankles symbolizes his enshrined seat (vajrasana) underneath the bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, which is one of the primary Buddhist pilgrimage sites. The blue and cold-gold painted face, which is ritually applied in Tibet, affords the Historical Buddha a cool resolve while resisting the carnal temptations of Mara's shape-shifting daughters. Two related gilt bronzes with similarly incised lotus bases are published in von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, vol. II, 2001, p. 1065, nos. 272E-F.
