Ratnasambhava sits before a broad oval halo on a double-lotus throne, raised above a four-footed plinth. A domed parasol carried by curving supports completes the compact, shrine-like ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis right hand extends downward in \u003cem\u003evarada mudra\u003c\/em\u003e, the gesture associated with generosity and giving. The left hand rests in the lap and supports a small jewel-shaped attribute. The narrow frontal body, emphatic symmetry and imposing backplate revive visual conventions linked to eastern Indian sculpture of the Pala age without presenting the bronze as a work from that historical period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beaded inner band frames the halo, while an undulating flame or foliage border animates its outer edge. The elevated parasol adds verticality; the lotus tiers and architectural base give the composition unusual presence for an object only fifteen centimetres high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eObject details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ratnasambhava Buddha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pala Revival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e bronze \/ copper alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 15 × W 7.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCasting and surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open underside reveals the hollow-cast interior of the plinth. Golden-brown metal alternates with darker patinated areas, and orange-red deposits remain in recessed passages.

Small losses and openings occur around the halo, lotus, backplate and plinth, with further wear and minor damage at the feet and corners of the base.
