Description

A BRONZE FIGURE OF AVALOKITESHVARA, SOUTH THAILAND, 8TH-9TH CENTURY

Standing in samabhanga on a double-lotus base with his hands radiating around him, the primary hands holding a kendi and a lotus stem, and the secondary hands raised near the shoulders. Dressed in a diaphanous dhoti secured around the waist with a sash knotted to one side and falling in pleats, the slender figure adorned with ornate jewelry. The serene face with heavy-lidded eyes below arched brows centered by a small urna, the full lips forming a subtle smile. The hair in wavy locks pulled into a high chignon centered by a diminutive Amitabha Buddha.

Provenance: Collection of Olivier Maréchal, Belgium. Olivier Maréchal (b. 1973) is a noted Belgian collector and dealer specializing in the arts of India, Vietnam, and Thailand. He began his career in the mid-1990s, learning from his father who helped him with his first purchases. He later managed Surya Gallery in Brussels, Belgium.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Old wear, small losses, casting flaws, signs of weathering and erosion, some warping, small nicks, light scratches. Fine, naturally grown patina with extensive malachite encrustation.

Weight: 303.3 g
Dimensions: Height 16.5 cm

Expert’s note: The bodhisattva's slightly flexed pose and delicately modeled torso contrast more common hieratic poses found in the Srivijaya period. The long stem of the lotus that trails down the right side to his ankle is balanced by a thick knot and pleated end falling from his left hip.

Auction result comparison:
Type: Near-identical
Auction: Bonhams New York, 17 September 2014, lot 172
Price: USD 10,000 or approx. EUR 12,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A copper alloy figure of Avalokiteshvara or Maitreya, South Thailand, 8th/9th century
Expert remark: Compare the closely related modeling with similar pose, dangling lotus stem, and knotted sash. The figure is the same size (16.5 cm) as the present lot and also shows a similar patina. They both most likely origin from the same casting mold.
