A LARGE AND GILT WOOD MANUSCRIPT COVER, TIBET, 15TH-16TH CENTURY

Finely carved with a crowned central Buddha standing in samabhanga on a lotus pedestal, his right hand lowered in varada mudra and his left raised in abhaya mudra, wearing a trifold dhoti secured at the waist by a sash, his serene face with heavy-lidded downcast eyes, his hair arranged in a high chignon behind the foliate tiara, backed by a nimbus and mandorla, surrounded by interlacing vines within beaded and lotus petal borders.

Provenance: From a German private estate.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, expected age cracks, small nicks, natural flaws, chips, rubbing to the gilt, and minor losses.

Weight: 3,633 g
Dimensions: Length 72.9 cm

Expert’s note:
Tibetan wood covers depicting standing figures are much rarer than those with seated ones. For a slightly earlier example with five standing Buddhas, 71 cm long, dated 13th-14th century, see Bonhams New York, 20 March 2024, lot 770.

Literature comparison
Compare a closely related gilt wood manuscript cover decorated with similar interlacing vines, 70.8 cm long, dated to the 15th century, in the Art Institute of Chicago, accession number 1985.602.

Expert remark: Compare the closely related form and manner of carving with similar beaded and petal borders, albeit slightly different decoration with seated figures in the center. Note the closely related size (73 cm).
