Sino-Tibetan sculpture refers to Buddhist art produced in the cultural overlap between China and Tibet, particularly during the Ming and Qing dynasties. These works combine Tibetan Buddhist iconography with Chinese metalworking and aesthetic traditions, typically rendered in gilt bronze with fine decorative detail.
Common subjects include seated Buddhas, multi-armed bodhisattvas, and deities from the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon. The style reflects centuries of religious and political exchange between the two regions. Our collection includes 3 works at the Art Institute of Chicago.
