介绍（中）	在这幅崇高且极其罕见的中世纪早期对历史佛陀的描绘中，他以瑜伽冥想的姿势坐着，在他启蒙前的那一刻，他的右手放下并向大地女神打手势，当时他坚定地抵制所有欲望的诱惑。他展示了许多佛性的吉祥标记（lakshanas）：延长的耳垂，用于提醒观众佛陀以前的王子身份;脖子上的三个环;额头标记（urna，根据文本的卷发）;以及高度明显的颅骨突起（Ushnisha）。在ushnisha上方存在火焰状投影是一个罕见而重要的特征，因为尽管它具有文本基础，但它很少在西藏或印度佛教艺术中出现。该人物具有精致光滑的表面，面部和颈部有镀金的痕迹。巧妙衔接的手指和脚趾为这幅原本相当抽象和空灵的佛像增添了凄美的人性维度。微妙的微笑和沮丧的表情巧妙地捕捉了佛性内心的平静和觉醒的幸福。
介绍（英）	In this sublime and exceedingly rare early medieval depiction of the historical Buddha he is seen seated in a yogic meditation posture, with his right hand lowered and gesturing to the Earth Goddess at the moment prior to his enlightenment, when he steadfastly resistance all the temptations of desire. He displays a number of the auspicious marks of Buddhahood (lakshanas): the extended earlobes, which serve to remind the viewer of the Buddha’s former princely status; the three rings on the neck; the forehead mark (urna, a curl of hair according to texts); and the highly pronounced skull protuberance (ushnisha). The presence of a flame-like projection surmounting the ushnisha is a rare and significant feature, for although it has a textual foundation, it is rarely represented in Tibetan or indeed Indian Buddhist art. The figure has a refined and smooth surface, with traces of gilding on the face and neck. Skillfully articulated fingers and toes add a poignantly human dimension to this otherwise rather abstracted and ethereal Buddha image. The subtle hint of a smile and the downcast expression masterfully capture the inner calm of Buddhahood and awakened bliss.
