Gilt copper alloy
阿●（門+三人）佛坐像
尼泊爾
此尼泊爾尼瓦爾（Newar）造像作四面八臂，氣宇軒昂、精緻高雅，為該地區所罕見。四首均戴五葉寶冠。主首面形飽滿，雙眼下視，飾大耳璫，戴項圈、臂釧、手鐲。身披法衣，衣領飾聯珠紋。其八臂手腕處均有法輪，當胸右手持象徵慈悲的金剛杵，左手執代表智慧的金剛鈴。其餘六臂由上至下，最上方之兩手分持蓮花及寶劍；第二層執弓與箭；第三層為火輪與●（Q）索。
佛結跏趺坐於束腰仰覆蓮座上，座下為一「亞」字形雙層鏤空台座，上層中心有一葉瓣形支撐物，上刻金剛杵；兩端各刻一象，昂鼻回首面向佛像。下層刻劃整齊排列的覆蓮瓣。佛左腿上有一小型女尊像，採舒坐姿，右手施與願印，左手執一蓮花，此種類似勝樂金剛形式的阿●（L）佛造像極少出現於尼瓦爾佛教中。
