Jalandhara, the "Chosen One" or "Bearer of the Net," is one of the eighty-four mahasiddhas, who are thought to have lived between the eighth and the twelfth centuries. They represent all those who have, within a single lifetime, attained direct realization of the Buddha's teachings. The very unusual mudra in which the present figure holds his hands is named after the mahasiddha Jalandhara, and it is very rare to find this mudra depicted in Chinese Buddhist figures. Stylistic features of this rare figure, especially the lotus throne and the face, conform to those of a group of gilt-bronze images of seated bodhisattvas of Liao dynasty date. 這是一尊典型的遼代佛造像作品。遼代佛造像的藝術風格繼承了唐代造像典雅端莊的遺韻，吸收了南宋造像寫實的手法，又融入了契丹民族和北方民族的傳統審美情趣和表現技法，因此在整體風格上體現出多元文化融合的特點，展現了遼代造像獨特的文化藝術風貌。面形圓鼓，肉髻平緩，螺發正面嵌髻珠。身著袒胸式袈裟，衣褶刻劃自然流暢，十分醒目，衣紋表現強烈的質感。高大仰蓮瓣台座格外醒目，蓮瓣寬肥飽滿，舒展自如，花瓣尖端又向外翹起，生動自然，這是典型的遼代造像藝術風格。遼代佛造像傳世稀少，藝術價值高被國內外公私立博物館和藏家所喜愛。
