Iconography and Dating
The medicine vessel and lotus throne identify the healing-Buddha tradition. The available record does not provide a secure antique date or geographical provenance, so the piece is catalogued by iconography, material and style rather than being given an artificially early chronology.

Good condition with wear to the gold-toned surface, darker patina in recesses and minor handling marks.
