| Reverse description | A multi-armed, multi-headed Buddhist deity — depicted in the iconographic tradition of Ushnishavijaya or a related Tantric bodhisattva — is shown seated in lotus position (padmasana) at the center of the field, facing front. The figure's numerous arms radiate outward, each holding symbolic attributes including a small seated Buddha effigy, a vajra scepter, a lasso, and other ritual implements, while the primary hands rest in mudra gestures. A large ornate halo encircles the deity's crowned and jeweled heads, rendered in selective gilding that contrasts dramatically against the antique-finished silver field. The figure is adorned with elaborate jewelry, flowing robes, and serpentine elements at the base, all seated upon a stylized lotus throne. The background field is intricately engraved with a dense mandala-like pattern of lotus petals and scrolling clouds, extending to a decorative border at the rim. |
