拍品描述
A BUDDHIST BRONZE TRIAD OF BUDDHA MUCHALINDA WITH HIS CONSORTS LOKESHVARA AND PRAJNAPARAMITA, BAYON STYLE, 13TH CENTURYKhmer Empire. Separately cast in four parts, the present triad represents Buddha Muchalinda flanked on either side by the male bodhisattva of compassion, Lokeshvara, and the female bodhisattva of wisdom, Prajnaparamita. The Buddha, seated on a serpentine base and sheltered by the hood of the seven-headed Muchalinda, holds his hands in dhyanamudra.The four-armed Lokeshvara stands to his left, carrying a rosary, scroll, amrita vase, and a lotus bud. On the left, Prajnaparamita holds a scroll and a lotus bud. The three figures are all dressed in similarly-styled jewelry, including their collar necklaces, armbands, bracelets, anklets, and waistbands supporting their respective sampots. (4)Provenance: Spink & Son, London, 29 July 1999. A private collection in the United States, acquired from the above. A copy of an Estate Tax Appraisal from Christie's New York, dated 9 October 2020, confirming the provenance and dating above, and stating an insurance value for the present lot of USD 40,000 or approx. EUR 41,500 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies the lot. Condition: Overall condition is good and commensurate with age, rarity, and inherent fragility. The bronze presents with expected age-related wear, including casting irregularities, surface weathering, encrustations, minor losses and dents, some warping mostly to base, fatigue cracks, and a few old repairs. There is one larger loss to the reverse of the base; however, this does not detract from the overall integrity of the piece. Areas of bronze fatigue, erosion, and corrosion are present, all consistent with long-term burial and aging. The surface displays a magnificent, naturally developed patina, with extensive malachite and azurite encrustations, contributing significantly to its aesthetics overall.Weight: 3.9 kg Dimensions: Height 34.5 cmSuch triads representing Buddha with Lokeshvara and Prajnaparamita were most common during the reign of Jayavarman VII (1181-1218), while Mahayana Buddhism was predominant in Khmer culture.This iconography was once attributed to the story of the Buddha and Muchalinda, the serpent king, as described in Theravada texts like the Abhiniskramana Sutra. However, recent studies suggest the central seated figure represents Vairocana Buddha, venerated in the esoteric tradition, and that the imagery may be linked to the spread of the Sarva Tathagata Tattva Samgraha tantra in Khmer art from the 10th century onward. The presence of two attendant Esoteric Buddhist deities further supports this interpretation.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related Buddhist triad, dated late 12th-early 13th century, in the National Museum of Cambodia, accession number Ga5470, included in the exhibition Gods of Angkor: Bronzes from the National Museum of Cambodia, J. Paul Getty Museum, 22 February-14 August 2011.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's Paris, 11 December 2013, lot 345 Price: EUR 49,500 or approx. EUR 60,000 adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : An important bronze group of a Buddhist triad, Khmer, Bayon style, 13th century Expert remark: Compare the closely related modeling, manner of casting, and subject. Note the similar size (39.5 cm).
