斯瓦特度母菩薩以半跏趺坐於雙層蓮台之上，左手持一株含苞待放的蓮花，右手持予願印，佩戴多條項鍊和珠寶。銅像以細膩的黃銅合金鑄造，白毫及眼部嵌有白銀，嘴唇嵌紅銅，此種工藝符合斯瓦特河谷金屬造像工藝傳統。其蓬鬆的捲發，簡約的裝飾亦與斯瓦特地區慣有兿術風格相吻合

斯瓦特河谷係屬於犍陀羅地區的一部分，自然深深浸潤於該區成熟的造像風格之中，至今常見許多造像遺存，該區的造像在佛教羣術發展史上佔有相當重要的地位

予願印，又稱施予印，是最為人熟知的手印，以表普度眾生的慈悲心施與，給予眾生所需，滿足眾生所願之意，持此印者有菩薩或其他主慈悲之佛，掌心向上，右手自然平伸下垂。之所以被稱為施予印，因其似授予的姿態，表達傳承對精神，情感和身體的祝福。五個向外伸展的手指象徵其慈悲，普世濟人，憂人所憂，堅定不渝，慷慨行善的禪心。

金酥油燈由燈體、燈柱、底座三部份組成。盤口，蓮瓣形柄，喇叭形底座，腹部金絲纏繞，柄部蓮瓣下垂微張。此燈造型莊嚴凝重，製作工藝精湛，是西藏宗教器物中的精品。主要用於佛龕、寺院點燈。

在藏傳佛教的寺院中和信徒的家中的佛龕前，一年四季都供奉著酥油做燃料的長明燈，稱之為酥油燈。酥油燈一般為金、銀、銅、陶瓷等鑄製而成，品類繁多，常見的有格桑式和土登式。所謂的格桑式就是七世達賴喇嘛格桑嘉措時期限流行的式樣，土登式則是十三世達賴嘛土登嘉措時期流行的式樣。佛經上闡述，點酥油燈能使慧光永不受阻，使人懂得善與非善之法，排除視障與愚昧，獲得智慧之心。這件酥油燈用純金打造，雍容華貴，璀璨奪目，是極為罕見的藏傳佛教重寶。

觀音佛首戴高冠，冠上有一化佛。《觀無量壽經》上講：觀世音菩薩以毗楞伽摩尼寶，以為天冠，其天冠中，有一位化佛，高二十五由旬。佛細眉，秀目，豐唇輕合，面頰豐滿，大耳。佛首置於木座之上。

觀音菩薩自印度傳入中土，經過與華夏文化的長期融合，唐宋以降，對觀音的崇拜持續不衰，觀音菩薩成為最受中國善男信女歡迎的神祇之一，因之銅、石、木、泥、瓷各種質地的觀音像層出不窮，此觀音像望之儼然，即之也溫，堪稱上乘佳作。

The sword wasaweapon worn by theancient noblesand warriors forself-defense and fighting.During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period,asaber could also express an individual'srank or social status.The earliest swords produced in Central Asia were the bronze swords of theWestern Zhou Dynasty,and willow-leaf-shaped bronze short swords have been discovered in Zhangjiapo,Shaanxi and Liulihe in Beijing.Thewillow-leaf shape was specificallydesigned to be used in chariot warfare,common in the northatthat time.

此劍身中間起脊，起脊處稍厚，刃部削薄鋒利，鋒部尖銳。劍柄為清代18世紀白玉雕成，痕都斯坦風格，雕工純熟，技法精湛，起到了很好的裝飾之用。此劍青銅鑄造，鑄工精良，劍身锉磨精細，抛光平整，靠近劍柄處刻有五字篆文「萄公右專佩」，並配有老盒子，為同類器中上乘之作，具有很高的歷史和工兿價值。

劍為古代貴族和戰士隨身佩戴用以自衛防身進行格鬥的兵器，春秋戰國時期，人們佩劍還有表示等級身份的意思。中原地區可見最早的劍為西周時期青銅劍，陝西張家坡、北京琉璃河都有柳葉形短劍出現，其形制為適應當時北方盛行的車戰，作為長兵器的輔助武器，作近戰防衛之用。吳越地區因水戰較多而以劍為主要武器，多見長劍，鑄造精良，削鐵如泥，春秋戰國時名劍多出於此，包括1965年湖北江陵出土的國寶，著名的越王勾踐自佩劍。
