In very good condition overall. Minor rubbings to the gilding and accretion throughout, a few patches of green oxidation especially around the necklace, a tiny dent in the nose and on the right thigh. Some of the stone inlay possibly replaced. Would have originally been set into a common plinth probably as part of a triptych. No restoration.

The statue would have attended a larger central deity, probably a seated Tathagata, with a similar bodhisattva, possibly Padmapani, standing on the opposite side. Tibetan thankas, certainly from the eleventh century through the fourteenth century, portray Tathagatas and somet.mes s religious hierarchs with standing attendant bodhisattvas, see Steven M. Kossak and Jane Casey Singer, Sacred Visions; Early Paintings from Central Tibet, p. 60, Pl. 4, & p. 89, pl. 17. Flywhisks are carried by both Vajrapani and Padmapani in two seated bronze attendant bodhisattvas from Nepal, see Ulrich von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p. 354, pl. 93A, C. A fourteenth century standing gilt bronze Tara, now in the Ngor monastery in the Tibetan province of Tsang, is closely comparable to the Vajrapani, with a very similar crown style, facial expression, jewelry design and attenuated form, see Ulrich von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, 2001, p. 1034, pl. 257A
