介绍（中）	这个佛像体现了内在光辉的平静和静止的品质，这是至高无上的智慧的产物。他用abhaya mudra中的"不害怕"手势举起手，向他的追随者们提供安慰和保护。佛像穿着一件简单的和尚未经切割的布，优雅地缠绕在身上，以定义形式，创造出一个空灵而感性的形象。佛像的状态在图像上是由一系列吉祥标记（拉克沙纳斯）的存在来定义的：在这里，我们看到了衰减的耳垂、突出的头骨和手指之间的织带。这些自然和超自然的特征加在一起，代表着注定的神圣和成佛状态。在12世纪末修道院佛教的崩溃中，很少有金属佛像幸存下来，大多数保存下来的佛像都是在西藏保存的，它们在中世纪被偷偷带走以寻求安全点击此处阅读关于该物体最近保护研究的讨论，启蒙技术：拍摄佛像。
介绍（英）	This Buddha image embodies the qualities of inner radiant calm and stillness, the products of supreme wisdom. He dispenses reassurance and protection to his followers with a raised hand held in abhaya-mudra, the ‘fear not’ gesture. The Buddha is robed in the simple uncut cloth of a monk, gracefully drawn around the body so as to define form, to create an image that is at once ethereal and sensuous. A state of Buddhahood is defined iconographically by the presence of a series of auspicious markings (lakshanas): here we see the attenuated earlobes, protruding skull and webbing between the fingers. Taken together these features, both natural and supernatural, denote preordained sanctity and a state of Buddhahood. Few metal Buddha images survived the collapsed of monastic Buddhism in the late 12th century, and most that are preserved did so in Tibet, where they had been spirited away for safety in the medieval period.
