Ancient Statues and Sculptures from Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan
The ancient statues and sculptures of Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan are among the major expressions of Himalayan art, profoundly marked by Vajrayāna Buddhism and ancient regional traditions. Finely chiseled bronzes, carved woods, and votive figures testify to a great mastery of proportions, symbolic gestures, and techniques of gilding or stone inlay.

The works presented here come from the Claude de Marteau collection, considered one of the major ensembles in the field of Himalayan arts. Buddhas, bodhisattvas, Tārā, and protective deities embody an intense spirituality as well as a singular historical and iconographic depth.
