A RARE BRONZE TRIAD OF SHIVA AND HIS CONSORTS PARVATI AND SATI WITH NANDI, CENTRAL JAVA, 11TH CENTURY

Indonesia. Well cast with Shiva standing in samabhanga with his principal right hand held in karana mudra and his left holding a water vessel, his secondary hands holding mala beads and a fly-whisk. He is wearing a fine sampot with neatly rendered pleats to the sides, secured by a sash with a floral fastener. The central deity is flanked by Sati and Parvati seated atop a double lotus base with hands in karana mudra, the holy bull Nandi seated in a recumbent pose before them, all raised over a tiered plinth.

Shiva’s hair is arranged into a high jatamukuta centered by a skull and crescent moon, secured by a foliate tiara, a few locks elegantly falling over his shoulders. Each of his consorts with a serene expression, marked by almond-shaped eyes, elegantly arched brows, and gently smiling lips.

Provenance: Ex-collection Fran?ois Coppens, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. Bruno Cooper Works of Art, Norwich, United Kingdom, 2007. Collection of Paolo Bertuzzi, acquired from the above. A copy of the original signed invoice from Burno Cooper, dated 15 February 2007, confirming the dating above, and stating a purchase price for the present lot of GBP 4,700 or approx. EUR 11,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Paolo Bertuzzi (1943-2022) was a fashion stylist from Bologna, Italy. He was the son of Enrichetta Bertuzzi, founder of Hettabretz, a noted Italian fashion company with customers such as the Rothschild family, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Paolo Bertuzzi later took over his mother’s business and designed exclusive pieces, some of which were exhibited in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, USA. He was also an avid collector of antiques for more than 60 years. His collection includes both archaic and contemporary art, and he edited two important books about Asian art, Goa Made - An Archaeological Discovery, about a large-scale archaeological project carried out with the Italian and Indonesian governments, and Majapahit, Masterpieces from a Forgotten Kingdom.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear and casting irregularities. Minor losses, dings, little warping, signs of erosion, weathering, and corrosion, encrustations. The bronze covered with a rich, naturally grown patina with vibrant malachite encrustations.
