Buddha Pentad

CHINA; Tang dynasty (618–907); Gilt Copper; 22.3 x 18.6 cm; Nezu Museum, Tokyo, Japan
The Buddha is seated in full lotus position on a lotus throne and wearing a monastic robe that leaves the right shoulder bare. The figure's nimbus is shaped like a lotus petal and decorated with flame motifs. The disciples have a nimbus consisting of two concentric circles, while the Bodhisattvas have a plain circular nimbus. There is an imp supporting a mountain censer beneath the throne. There is a kneeling figure and a Dharma protecting lion on either side of the censer. The figures have their hands joined in reverence.
