This bronze figure depicts the Buddha standing erect on a lotus pedestal, framed by a flame-shaped mandorla. The right hand is raised in abhaya mudrā, the gesture of reassurance and fearlessness, while the left hand extends downward, holding the edge of the monastic robe. The body is slender, with softly modeled contours and the robe falling in schematic folds across the torso and legs, recalling early Tibetan bronzes inspired by Pala prototypes of northeastern India.

The Buddha’s face is calm and symmetrical, with downcast eyes beneath arched brows, elongated earlobes, and a tightly curled ushnisha surmounted by a small finial. The mandorla, decorated with linear flame motifs, reinforces the sense of divine radiance and sacred presence.

Although created at a later period, the figure consciously revives the aesthetic of the 12th-century Tibetan style, when Buddhist imagery in Tibet drew heavily from Indian Pala dynasty bronzes and adapted their iconography into a distinctly Himalayan idiom. The work thus represents a continuation of the Tibetan Buddhist sculptural tradition, blending reverence for early prototypes with later devotional production.
