Vajrapani Bodhisattva
Gilt bronze
金剛手菩薩像
尼泊爾
菩薩頭戴寶冠，繒帶卷曲上揚，戴花形耳環，面圓，眉間白毫呈橢圓形。袒上身，披帔帛，下著裙；雙臂均依附著蓮花莖蔓，花瓣上有金剛杵。右臂前伸至胸前施無畏印，掌心刻一法輪。身後由枝葉及果實所形成的兩棵樹，對稱地向上延展相交於頂端，形成一拱門狀的樹形背光。此形式的背光可能是源於十八世紀尼泊爾所流行的許願樹。
此像舒右腿坐於蓮花座上，下方台座有卷草紋樣的裝飾，兩側刻劃坐獅，張口昂首，以前足支撐作低伏姿態。造像與植物分開鑄造再精巧地組合，顯得生動優美。此像底座一段簡短的銘文，載明其為伊斯興哈（Isisimha）於尼泊爾八五一年（1731）所敬獻。
