A PAUBHA DEPICTING AVALOKITESHVARA, CHAKRASAMVARA HERUKA AND VIGHNANTAKA BHAIRAVA, NEPAL, 18TH CENTURY

Gold and distemper on cloth, with a silk frame, mounted as a hanging scroll with a wood handle. The eleven-headed, eight-armed Avalokiteshvara stands on a lotus pedestal, framed by a red aureole, flanked by Chakrasamvara Heruka and his consort enthroned on a lotus as well as Padmapani Lokeshvara standing in a graceful pose, adorned with flowing silken robes and jeweled ornaments, holding a lotus stem in his left hand coming to full bloom at the shoulder, surrounded by twelve deities seated among the clouds.

The upper and lower registers with numerous bodhisattvas depicted seated, standing, or dancing, many with identifying inscriptions, with the wrathful protector Vighnantaka Bhairava striding atop a prostrate elephant in the lower center.

Provenance: Collection of Bernhard Heibach, acquired in New Dheli between 1956 and 1959 during his service as Legation Counselor at the German Embassy, and thence by direct descent.

His postings included roles as Legation Secretary in Rio de Janeiro, Consul in Maputo, and Ambassador in Blantyre and Lisbon. From 1979 to 1987, he served as Deputy Ambassador in Vienna and later as Ambassador and Permanent Representative to UNESCO in Paris.
