拍品描述
The leaf-shaped pendant is meticulously inlaid with green-backed rock crystal, lapis lazuli, rubies, corals, turquoises, sapphires, and pearls to depict Vishnu riding Garuda, flanked by two dancing female attendants, the reverse with delicate filigree work surrounding a central floral spray formed from similar inlays, and a tiny gold mounted ruby suspended from the lower corner, all framed by richly beaded rims, the ends connected with a gilt-metal fitting terminating in two inset rubies and suspended from a chain with small repoussé conch-form links.Provenance: Sotheby's London, 16 February 1981, lot 672. Acquired from the above by an important private collector in Southern Germany. A copy of the collector's personal notes, confirming the provenance, accompanies the lot. The notes record a purchase price of DEM 2,500 (approx. €4,000 today, adjusted for inflation) and assign a 19th-century date. Condition: Good condition with minor wear, minor losses to inlays with some possibly renewed or reattached, light surface scratches, minor fissures to some stones, the left attendant figure with an old repair to the raised arm and loss to the hand. Weight: 58.7 g Dimensions: Length 8 cm (excl. chain), 12.5 cm (incl. chain)Literature comparison:These monumental earrings were originally intended to adorn a deity statue within a Nepalese temple, serving both a ritual and symbolic function. A closely related pair, each measuring 9.5 cm in height, can be found in the Cleveland Museum of Art, along with a matching pendant. Both are dated to the 17th-18th century. They were formerly part of the esteemed collection of Jeptha Homer Wade II. The museum accession numbers are 1915.338 (earrings) and 1915.341 (pendant). Compare also a related gilt metal and precious stone inlaid stele depicting the same subject, sold at Sotheby's New York in September 1999 and illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources, item number 11583.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 17 September 1999, lot 105 Price: USD 12,650 or approx.
