拍品描述
China, 1368-1644. The round face well carved with a serene expression, the downcast tear-shaped eyes half-closed in meditation, above the pursed lips, full cheeks, and fleshy chin framed by large pendulous earlobes. The hair arranged in tight curls over the high ushnisha. Provenance: A private collection in the United States, acquired before 2005 from a gallery on Upper Lascar Row, Hong Kong, and thence by descent.Condition: Good condition with old wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, nicks, chips, losses, structural fissures, remnants of ancient gilt and pigment.Weight: 106 kg (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 60 cm (excl. stand), 82 cm (incl. stand)Mounted to a modern stand. (2)The facial iconography is immediately identifiable from smaller bronze sculptures created during the Ming dynasty, yet large-scale stone sculptures from this period are exceedingly rare. The Yuan dynasty signified the decline of feudal society, and with it, the use of stone for monumental Chinese sculptures diminished, both in quantity and quality. This tradition persisted only in a few grotto sites throughout the Ming dynasty.Without the body it will remain impossible to determine who the work exactly represents. However, it is known that many temples founded during the Ming Dynasty housed large sets of figures, although usually in other mediums such as stucco, representing the present Buddha Shakyamuni in previous cosmic eras.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related stone head of Buddha excavated in a local stone Buddhist temple in Chongqing between 2015 and 2019, illustrated by the Chongqing Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2019, lot 2705Price: HKD 821,500 or approx. EUR 112,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A massive grey stone head of Buddha, Ming dynasty (1368-1644)Expert remark: Compare the related size (53 cm), the similar dramatic profile with a tall, backset conical hairstyle, rounded cheeks, and a deeply defined brow line above incised eyes.
