Footnotes

清 十八/十九世紀 銅鎏金黃財神像

The wealth deity sits above the sun disk of a lotus, in a relaxed pose with his right foot resting on a vase of overflowing plenty. In his right hand he offers a boon. In his left hand he grasps a mongoose magically dispensing a jewel from its digestive tract. A similar example which also shows Yellow Jambhala seated above a single row of lotus petals combined with a rim of incised wavy lines that imitate the flower's stamen is in the Alice S. Kandell Collection, published in Rhie & Thurman, A Shrine for Tibet, New York, 2009, pp.222-3, no.V-17.

Provenance
