Old Tibetan Silver Lohan Plate – Buddhist Temple Figure Dish Peppercorns semi-double flowers burst forthThis old Tibetan silver plate comes from a Chinese Buddhist temple context and is finely worked with the image of a Lohan (Arhat)an enlightened disciple of the Buddha. Seated in calm composure, the Lohan is framed by decorative borders that turn the plate into a small, self contained mandala of presence and stillness. The silvered surface has softened over time, developing a gentle patina that settles into the engraved lines and low relief details.
