A BRONZE REPOUSSé ‘WRATHFUL DEITY’ VOTIVE PLAQUE, TIBET, 18TH-19TH CENTURY

Of circular form, the central medallion features a multi-headed, six-armed wrathful deity, standing on one foot in a dynamic pose. His radiating arms hold various attributes, including a vajra pendant, a miniature stupa, a banner, a khatvanga, and a short sword. Encircling him are eight deities seated or standing on lotus pedestals, centered by Garuda with outstretched wings. The finely hammered ground is decorated with raised clustered rings, all bordered by a band of alternating lantsa characters and vajras.

Wrathful deities, though fearsome in appearance, symbolize the fierce protection of wisdom and the destruction of ignorance. The reverse of the plaque features a powerful double vajra and a central design of three intertwined fish, symbolizing freedom from the cycle of samsara.

Provenance: From the collection of Christian Peter Albertsen, passed down through the family. The back is inscribed with an inventory number, ‘110234-0627’. Christian ‘Kristen’ Peter Albertsen (1894-1977) was a Danish electrical engineer who joined The Great Northern Telegraph Company (Det Store Nordiske Telegraf-Selskab) in 1912. Initially stationed in London and Petrograd, he moved to China in 1917, working in Shanghai and Chefoo (today’s Yantai). Albertsen eventually settled in Beijing with his wife before returning to Denmark in 1933, bringing with him his fine collection of ancient Buddhist art.
Condition: Good condition with wear and manufacturing irregularities, tiny nicks, light dents, few minor dings, occasional light scratches, minor warping. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, dark patina with areas of malachite encrustation to the back.
