拍品描述
A GRAY SCHIST FIGURE OF GAUTAMA SIDDHARTHA MEDITATING UNDER THE JAMBU TREE, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 3RD CENTURYKushan period. Finely carved seated in dhyanasana below a leaf-formed canopy, the figure is rendered with a calm, meditative expression, almond-shaped eyes, and a gentle smile, the head surmounted by a turban with a lion medallion and diadem, the torso is adorned with necklaces and armlets, while a long scarf is draped over the left shoulder and falling elegantly across the legs to form a semi-circle.All supported on a rectangular plinth decorated to the front with three devotees praying towards a large vessel, and a farmer with two oxen.Provenance: The collection of Yvette Starck, Luxembourg, acquired in 1975, and thence by descent to Jacques Grosbusch, Luxembourg. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Signs of weathering and erosion, structural fissures, small chips, few nicks, soil encrustations, minor old repairs. The arched section reattached.Weight: 42 kg Dimensions: Height 72 cmAs a young prince, Siddhartha Gautama, later known as the Buddha, was taken into the fields to observe a ceremonial ploughing. There he saw labourers straining in the heat and birds descending to devour the insects unearthed by the plough — a stark revelation of toil, suffering, and the cycle of life and death. Overcome by what he witnessed, he withdrew from the spectacle and seated himself beneath a jambu tree, where he spontaneously entered a state of deep meditation. This formative episode foreshadowed his later awakening beneath the bodhi tree.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Gandharan gray schist figure of Siddhartha meditating below the Jambu tree, dated to the 3rd century, 58.4 cm high, in the Norton Simon Museum, accession number F.1975.17.29.S.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 21 March 2012, lot 724 Price: USD 146,500 or approx.
