拍品描述
Tibet. Finely modeled seated in lalitasana on a cushioned throne, the left arm resting on his knee with the hand holding a lidded vessel, the right hand raised to the chest and held in shuni mudra. The Arhat is dressed in loose-fitting monastic robes falling in richly carved folds along the body. The face with a serene expression marked by heavy-lidded eyes, thick arched brows, and bow-shaped lips pursed into a gentle smile, flanked by elongated earlobes and framed by the shaved hairstyle. The hands and left foot are separately worked.Provenance: A private collection in western France and thence by descent.Condition: Good condition with old wear, few dents, small tears to edges, minor rubbing to gilt. The monk's staff lost.Weight: 3.2 kgDimensions: Height 54.2 cmThe subject of the present lot can be identified as Nagasena, one of the Sixteen Arhats, by his pose and the vessel he is holding in his left hand, which removes poverty and spiritual deficiencies. He usually also holds a monk's staff. Nagasena was a revered Buddhist monk and philosopher, best known for his role in the Milindapanha (The Questions of King Milinda), a foundational Buddhist text. Believed to have lived around the 2nd century BC, he engaged in a profound dialogue with King Menander I (Milinda), a Greco-Bactrian ruler, explaining key Buddhist concepts with clarity and insight. Nagasena learned the Tripi?aka under the Greek Buddhist monk Dhammarakkhita, reached enlightenment, and became an arhat under his guidance.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's New York, 20 March 2009, lot 1399Price: USD 17,500 or approx.
