Silver
Ih Juu Monastery Central Hall: Sakyamuni Buddha
CHINA, Inner Mongolia, Hohhot; Ming dynasty
The Buddha is sited in what is considered the earliest and largest Vajrayana temple in its region. The name Silver Buddha Temple is derived from the material of which the statue is made. The figure wears a five-leaf crown inlaid with semi-precious stones, beneath which the Buddha gazes down compassionately. The monastic robe is detachable and was renewed during the Qing dynasty (1644–1911).
