A TIBETAN GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF MILAREPA 16th Century

H: 13 cm

This figure has short curly hair, a round face with a peaceful expression. It is depicted vividly with a drinking horn in his left hand, right hand put next to his ear, as if he is singing a song. It is recorded that Milarepa used “Ox Horn Song” to enlighten Rechung so in some sculptures Milarepa is also depicted with an ox horn in hand. This figure shows Milarepa with a calm and solemn face, wearing a robe with delicate patterns on it, seated in a casual posture wearing a robe with delicate decorations, showing strong artistic appeal.
