? A RARE PARCEL-GILT AND LACQUERED ZITAN FIGURE OF TARA, BHUTAN, 17TH - 18TH CENTURY

Finely carved, standing in slight tribhanga on an elaborate lotus base, wearing a loose-fitting dhoti with finely carved folds, well-detailed floral hems, and a gilt-lacquered floral pattern, tied at the waist with a belt suspending pendent beads, a floral shawl draped over her shoulders.

Her serene face with almond-shaped eyes, arched brows, and slender lips forming a benevolent smile. Her neatly incised hair, secured by an ornate foliate-paneled crown, elegantly falls down her shoulders in wavy strands.

Provenance: English trade, acquired from a noted private collection.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, shwoing old wear, natural imperfections, scratches, minor nicks, and obvious losses. Expected wear and rubbing to gilt, lacquer, and ancient pigments. Good, naturally grown patina overall. The Zitan with a subtle, lustrous shine.

Weight: 1,209.5 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 36 cm (incl. stand), 29.5 cm (excl. stand)

Expert’s note: The use of precious zitan wood and the remarkably fine painting in gold and underlying lacquer work on the current sculpture are exceptional, strongly suggestive of a commission for the Qing court, possibly under the influence or inspiration of artisans trained in the Zanabazar school.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related Bhutan gilt-wood figure of a bodhisattva seated and wearing similarly gilded garments,15.5 cm, dated to the 18th century, in the British Museum, accession number 1947,0414.1.

Expert remark: Note the near-identical design of the lotus base, a hallmark of the Bhutan school.
