拍品描述
AN IMPORTANT BRONZE FIGURE OF A BODHISATTVA, THAILAND, 7th-9th CENTURYExpert's note: The characteristic silvery appearance, patina with extensive corrosion, and distinct pitting—likely due to the so-called tin plague—suggest this piece may belong to the Prakhon Chai hoard, discovered in 1964 at Plai Bat II, Lahan Sai district, Buriram province, and later dispersed on the global art market by Spink & Son, London. The Bodhisattva is depicted in a graceful standing, slight tribhanga posture, clad in a short sampot secured by a belt, with outstretched arms and the hands in Dharmachakra mudra, symbolizing wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual enlightenment. The deity's rounded face with prominent lips and deeply inset eyes, gently ridged brows, and long pendulous earlobes with reticulation, the bud-shaped ushnisha is framed by a lotus petal crown. Provenance: Old American private collection. A neatly applied ancient paper label on the bottom of the stand bears typed notes from the previous owner, who compares the present lot to pieces from the Prakhon Chai hoard but remains uncertain, also considering a 14th-century date. Thence by descent in the family. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, and as expected for this group. Some ancient wear, natural imperfections, corrosion, weathering, losses, notches, and nicks. Loss to three fingers of the right hand and to the peg underneath the right foot. Weight: 1,193 kg Dimensions: Height 33 cm (excl. stand), 41 cm (incl. stand)Together with an associated stand. (2) This sculpture is made in the style of Prakhon Chai, a region which flourished during the 7th - 9th centuries in northeastern Thailand. Situated along trade routes crossing from India, through Burma and Thailand, and beyond, Prakhon Chai was a place of confluence, affluence, and the reception and transmission of great spiritual and artistic knowledge. The style displays a fusion of these international intersections in a uniquely local expression that would appear only in this particular place and only for a limited time.As a center of Buddhist practice, primarily Mahayana Buddhism, the Prakhon Chai region produced figures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that are depicted as ascetics; the figures are clad in the traditional Khmer and Thai sampot secured with a simple cord, and are otherwise unadorned, a departure from other Khmer styles in which bodhisattvas wear jewelry.As unifying stylistic features, Prakhon Chai figures exhibit strikingly slender and graceful bodies, straight-incised hair, and reticulated earlobes—all present in the current lot.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Prakhon Chai bronze with Avalokiteshvara, dating to the 8th century, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, object number 2015.500.4.25. Compare with another closely related Prakhon Chai bronze with Maitreya, dating to the 8th century, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, object number 1994.51.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's New York, 19 September 2008, lot 291 Price: USD 92,500 or approx.
