Expertise & Analysis
This statue is distinguished by its exceptional weight of 800 grams for a height of 13 cm. The detailing in the lotus base and the robe testifies to high-quality Newar casting.
The underside is remarkable: the base is still fully ritually sealed. The paper fragment with Devanagari script on the bottom indicates an early registration in Kathmandu, which underscores the historical context and collectible value of this object.

Bhaisajyaguru is depicted here with the medicine pot and the Myrobalan fruit, symbols for purifying illness and suffering.
