Abstract | In this article, three inscribed bronzes kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing will be examined. The first Buddha image – showing certain characteristics of the so-called Kashmir style – is donated by a lay follower Devacandra, whose name occurs here for the first time. The second bronze depicting the Buddha Śākyamuni is donated by a monk called Mokṣadatta together with his parents. Particularly interesting is the traditional Indian symbol for donation, a water jug, cast at the pedestal. The third statue representing Avalokateśvara is donated by the 4th Palola king Surendrādityanandin, who reigned in the area around Gilgit during the first half of the 7th century. |
