Axel Benzler（1891-1976年），瑞典，1929年前得於俄羅斯

This powerful and highly expressive sculpture depicts the Shakyamuni Buddha with his hands in dharmachakra mudra, the gesture of turning the Buddhist Wheel of Law and expounding the dharma, a posture referring to the Buddha’s first sermon delivered in the deer park in Sarnath. The crisp gilt-repoussé modelling encapsulates the eighteenth century Imperial Chinese style, but the facial features are distinctly Tibetan.
