拍品描述
The earth square in the form of a temple with doors to different regions of the universe, neatly incised to the center with a star composed of triangles of varying sizes denoting 'Mount Meru', enclosed within a lotus blossom and concentric bands of mantras. Provenance: Hotel Drouot, Paris, 16 November 1987, lot 172/2 (according to label). A private collection in France, acquired from the above, and thence by descent in the family. Two old inscribed labels to reverse. One with a dating ''XVII or XVIII''.Condition: Very good condition with old wear and casting irregularities. Some warping, minor dings to the edges, expected rubbing, scattered small nicks and light surface scratches. The bronze with a smooth, naturally grown patina with areas of malachite and cuprite encrustations. Remnants of ancient pigment.Weight: 235 g Dimensions: Size 13.7 x 13.7 cmYantras are ritual diagrams which are used to evoke and worship Hindu or Buddhist deities or to allow yogic meditational practices to be carried out. The concept of the yantra is similar to that of the mandala with a square outer perimeter guarding a series of inner circles culminating in the innermost circle, the point of final concentration during meditation.Literature comparison:Compare a related copper alloy Jain yantra inscribed with mantras and prayers, dated by inscription to 1631, Western India, 41 cm diameter, in the British Museum, registration number 1880.4057. Compare a related bronze yantra, 15.4 cm long, dated to the 19th century, formerly in the collection of Sir Henry Wellcome and now in the Science Museum, London, object number A639039.
