拍品描述
Expert's note: The present thangka is of superb quality. It is minutely and meticulously executed, rich in detail, and shows sumptuous and intricate use of gilt as well as exceptional fineness of line and brushstroke. The colors are predominantly of mineral origin, with traces of mica visible under raking light.Gold and distemper on cloth. The principal deity in dark blue standing in alidhasana atop a prostrate Ganesha, atop a lotus pedestal, his primary hands held to the chest and holding a kartika and kapala, the radiating secondary hands holding a human skull mala, trident, lasso, and damaru. His torso is wrapped with writhing snakes and garlanded with a sinewy necklace of severed heads, while a tiger skin covers his thighs. A five-pointed skull crown sits before his wild mane of hair which is centered by a diminutive Akshobhya, all backed by an aureole of flames.The upper margin is centered by the four-armed Avalokiteshvara holding a mala and lotus blossom in his raised secondary arms while the primary hands are clasped together in reverence, above eight avatars of Mahakala, all iconographically similar and carrying the same six attributes as the principal deity, six also with similar dark-blue skin while one is gray and another is red, shown in yab-yum with a consort similarly to the lower three blue Mahakalas. The lower margin is centered by Shadbhuja Sita Mahakala, all against a verdant ground populated by fierce beasts and nude figures.Provenance: From a private collection in France. Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, minor creasing and a reinforced centerfold, small losses to pigments with associated touchups, and little soiling. The image is partially reinforced with paper mounting to the sides.Dimensions: Image size 60 x 40 cm, Size incl. frame 78 x 58 cmWith a velvet mat and gilt-lacquered wood frame. (2)In his present form with six hands, Shadbhujia Mahakala is the wrathful emanation of Avalokoiteshvara. The deity arises from the eight chapter of the Mahakala Tantra belonging to the Kriya classification. There are several forms of Shadbhujia, the most popular being the wealth deity White Mahakala practiced in all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, but other versions of the deity are found in the Gelugpa and the Tsarpa lineages of Sakya. The fearsome appearance and the terrifying implements held by the deity refer to his capability to cope with persistent and unwanted negativities. His most distinctive symbolic attributes are the chopper (kartika) and the skull bowl (kapala) filled with blood, symbolizing the sharp edge of wisdom shredding all materialistic negative attitudes in the human-skull bowl of emptiness that holds the blood of defeated evil and demonic elements.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams Hong Kong, 2 December 2021, lot 1029 Price: HKD 127,500 or approx.
