拍品描述
A BRONZE BUDDHIST TRIAD OF BUDDHA MUCHALINDA WITH HIS CONSORTS LOKESHVARA AND PRAJNAPARAMITA, BAYON STYLE, 12TH-13TH CENTURYKhmer Empire, probably period of Jayavarman VII (1181-1218). The present triad represents Buddha Muchalinda flanked on either side by the male bodhisattva of compassion, Lokeshvara, and the female bodhisattva of wisdom, Prajnaparamita. The Buddha, seated on a serpentine base and sheltered by the hood of the seven-headed Muchalinda, holds his hands in dhyanamudra with a small vase, alluding to his healing qualifications as Medicine Buddha. The four-armed Lokeshvara stands to his right, carrying a rosary, scroll, amrita vase, and a lotus bud. On the left, Prajnaparamita holds a scroll and a lotus bud. The three figures are all dressed in similarly-styled jewelry, including their collar necklaces, armbands, bracelets, anklets, and waistbands supporting their respective sampots.Provenance: Collection of Janak Khendry, Toronto, Canada. Janak Khendry (b. 1938) is an Indian-Canadian director and choreographer who manages the Janak Khendry Dance Company in Toronto, which is dedicated to creating and presenting Indian classical, traditional, and modern dance works.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, casting irregularities, losses, fatigue cracks, nicks, soil encrustations, signs of weathering and erosion, old repairs. The bronze with a magnificent, naturally grown patina with extensive malachite and azurite encrustations.Weight: 1,056 gDimensions: Height 20.5 cmSuch triads representing Buddha with Lokeshvara and Prajnaparamita were most common during the reign of Jayavarman VII (1181-1218), while Mahayana Buddhism was predominant in Khmer culture.This iconography was once attributed to the story of the Buddha and Mucalinda, the serpent king, as described in Theravāda texts like the Abhini?krama?a Sūtra. However, recent studies suggest the central seated figure represents Vairocana Buddha, venerated in the esoteric tradition, and that the imagery may be linked to the spread of the Sarvatathāgatatattvasa?graha tantra in Khmer art from the 10th century onward. The presence of two attendant Esoteric Buddhist deities further supports this interpretation.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related gilt-bronze triad of Vairocana, late 12th-early 13th century, 22 cm high, in the National Palace Museum, Taiwan. Compare a closely related Buddhist triad, late 1100s-early 1200s, in the National Museum of Cambodia, accession number Ga5470.
