拍品描述
China, 1368-1644. This architectural component, much more imposing than an ordinary tile, was designed as the main centerpiece on the roof ridge of a Buddhist temple. It is finely modeled in deep relief with the warrior god Weituo standing proudly on rockwork with his hands clasped together in anjali mudra before the chest to support a sutra scroll. The deity wears a billowing scarf and elaborate armor with a ferocious beast mask covering his belly and a beast-form helmet with wing-shaped flanges. The three glaze colors are emerald-green, amber, and dark brown.Provenance: Collection of Y. Kayvan, Los Angeles, United States, acquired from a Los Angeles gallery in the late 1990s-2005. Condition: Good condition with old wear, manufacturing irregularities including firing cracks and glaze recesses, few small losses to exposed areas, some with small old repairs as expected, the finial of the helmet lost, minor glaze flaking. Overall remarkably well preserved and presenting splendidly.Weight: 25.4 kg (excl. stand) Dimensions: Size 68.5 x 39.7 (excl. stand)With a modern stand. (2)Kiln centers in China's northern provinces—Hebei, for example—have been producing tiles from the 6th century to the present day. During the Ming dynasty tile production flourished. This fine example of tilemaker's art was once part of a frieze, most probably on the front of a Buddhist temple. Seen from a distance, the military figure would give the impression of being a sculpture rather than part of a building. To fund such an ornate Buddhist ornament, donations would have been received from the local monastic community.Weituo Pusa is one of the thirty-two generals under the four Guardian Kings deemed to protect and maintain the Buddhist dharma. He is often depicted with the face of a child to represent his purity. In orthodox Buddhist monasteries, his image is often found in the first hall with his back to Maitreya and facing the image of Buddha in the main hall.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related yellow and green glazed tile depicting Weituo, dated 1548 by inscription, 73 cm tall, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number C.71-1939.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Paris, 12 June 2019, lot 181Price: EUR 30,000 or approx.
