Item Details
Description
12th/13th C. Buddhist Manuscript Cover with Amoghasiddhi Buddha flanked by scrolling vines. Tibet. Wood with traces of paint. Strikingly similar in size, style, and composition to the Metropolitan Museum's Budhhist Manuscript cover with Buddha Shakyamuni flanked by Manjushri and Vajrapani (accession # 1987.407.6), dated as early 12th c. Unique, as well, for the uncommon 'fear not' hand position of Amoghasiddhi instead of the normal meditation pose which compares with the Catalog 3. manuscript cover in the MacLean Collection, dated 12th/13th c. (Protecting Wisdom, Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection, Kathryn H. Selig Brown, Prestel Publishing, p.45). Size: 4-1/8" x 13-1/8". Provenance: Bill Liske.
