Seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base, the right hand extended in bhumisparsha mudra and the left in dhyanamudra, wearing a shawl draped over the left shoulder with the undergarment gathered at the chest, the serene face with downcast eyes and a meditative expression, flanked by a pair of long pendulous ears, the hair gathered in tight curls surmounted by a domed ushnisha. Ming Dynasty period.

此件釋迦牟尼像身軀挺拔，肢體比例把握準確，表現出極高的造型功力。螺髪排列規整，頂部肉髻圓凸，上飾寶珠頂嚴。面部臉頰豐滿，雙目微合，眉間白毫，雙眉細長，鼻樑堅挺，雙眉與鼻準相連成優美曲線，顯得格外俊朗，氣度恢宏。雙腿結全跏趺坐，左手置腹前結禪定印，右手於垂膝前結觸地印，指頭柔軟生動。身著袒右式袈裟，一角反搭蓋住右肩，胸部露出內束裙腰，轉折流暢自然，袈裟上鏨刻有細緻精美花紋，明顯借鑒了織繡上的裝飾圖案。蓮座為仰覆蓮式，沉穩寬大，上下層均飾有細密的連珠紋，珠粒晶圓，雖是銅鑄，卻讓人感覺到玉石的圓潤，蓮瓣造型寬闊，每一瓣均有兩層，瓣尖有捲草紋裝飾，是典型的明代造像製式。來源: 重要紐約藏家收藏
