The high quality of metal casting in Tibet during the 13th century is demonstrated by this elegant figure. The style of the figure reveals the strong influence of north Indian models during the 11th to 13th centuries. This was linked to the absorption of Buddhist teachings from the great monasteries of the region at that time.
