拍品描述
Superbly carved, the large muscular figure carved kneeling on one knee with arms outstretched in reverence. Simply dressed in a tasseled langot (loincloth) and adorned with jewelry, the deity's face with a fierce expression, round bulging eyes, a wide nose, and a large open mouth forming a grim smile and revealing sharp fangs, flanked by wing-shaped ears suspending foliate earrings, the hair arranged in a tiered conical chignon behind a tasseled tiara.Provenance: From the private collection of Fran?oise Leroy-Laveissere, acquired in the 1960s-1980s during her tenure as an Asian Art expert at H?tel Drouot, Paris.Condition: Overall good condition with expected wear and natural imperfections including age cracks and splits. Small losses. The tip of the tail lost. Repairs and reinforcements to the joints. Expected natural weathering and with a fine patina overall.Dimensions: Height 142 cm (excl. stand), 155 cm (incl. stand)Mounted on a wood stand. Note that both museum comparisons shown below have a similar wood stand. (2)In the Ramayana, the monkey hero Hanuman helps the god Rama rescue his abducted wife, Sita. Here Hanuman kneels with outstretched arms to show his devotion to Rama. Throughout West and South India, villagers carry wooden images such as this through the streets during temple festivals. Garlands of fresh flowers donated by the devout add color and fragrance to the intricately carved decoration that ornaments the figure. This sculpture would have probably been regularly re-painted for festival appearances.Hanuman is a revered figure in Hindu mythology, celebrated as a symbol of strength, devotion, and loyalty. He is a central character in the Indian epic Ramayana, where he serves as the devoted disciple of Lord Rama. Hanuman is a Vanara (a monkey-like being) and is known for his immense courage, intelligence, and supernatural abilities, including the power to fly, change size, and wield immense strength.Literature comparison:Compare a related wood figure of Hanuman dated to the 19th century, 107.3 cm high, in the Denver Art Museum, accession number 1991.1012. Compare a related wood ceremonial vehicle depicting Garuda, dated 18th-19th century, 90 cm high, in the Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore, accession number 1994-00514.
