拍品描述
CIRCA 6TH-7TH CENTURYExpert's note: Although they bear a superficial resemblance to those from the Silla Kingdom, sculptures from Baekje stand apart due to their distinctive faces, robes, and bases. The heads of Baekje figures are typically large in proportion to the body, just as the shoulders are narrow in relation to the head. Rather distinctively, the mouth is often unusually wide, as in this sculpture, resulting in a square chin. In addition, the nose and eyes tend to be large. Furthermore, the protruding tips of the robes on both sides of the body are a common feature of Baekje figures.The bases of Baekje figures typically take the form of a lotus blossom with petals projecting downward. While often referred to as inverted, the lotus is structurally upright; the downward-curving petals expose the conical seedpod that serves as the standing platform for the Bodhisattva.Standing with his weight evenly distributed on both legs above a lotus dais with fleshy petals, his left hand raised holding a jewel, the right hand lowered grasping a precious vase. Dressed in loose robes covering the shoulders, tied around the waist and falling outwards towards the feet. A beaded ornament drapes around the neck, crossing at the stomach and hanging down the legs. The neck is further adorned with a wide band suspending jewelry. The square face with a serene expression, neatly executed downcast eyes above a wide mouth, and framed by locks of hair that are tied in a tall chignon. Provenance: From a noted European private collection. Condition: Good condition with expected wear, casting irregularities, rubbing and losses to gilt, light warping, small surface scratches. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 485 g Dimensions: Height 18.3 cmWhile enthusiastically embracing new culture from China, the Baekje Kingdom established its own elaborate culture with distinctive and unique features by the mid-sixth century. Baekje culture had a discernible international flavor, as the kingdom actively communicated with China's Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Goguryeo Kingdom, the Silla Kingdom, and Japan. In particular, Baekje had a profound influence on the establishment of the ancient Asuka culture of Japan. For example, see a gilt bronze figure of Guanyin with a similar style of drapery, dated Asuka period, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, reference number 1950.392.The present figure may be compared with early Chinese Buddhist sculpture in its treatment of ornament. The deity is adorned with jeweled festoons arranged in intersecting strands across the torso, centered by a prominent medallion, a configuration characteristic of early Chinese bodhisattva imagery, see a gilt-bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara dated to Northern Qi-Sui dynasty, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, object number B60S45. This distinctive mode of ornamentation also finds parallels in gilt bronzes from the western regions of China and the broader Himalayan sphere. Comparable cross-strung jeweled garlands may be observed on a gilt-bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara from the Dali Kingdom, 11th-12th century, at Sotheby's London, 1 November 2023, lot 118, as well as on a gilt-copper figure of the Tenth Karmapa, Tibet, 17th century, preserved in the Palace Museum, Beijing.Literature comparison:Compare a related Baekje gilt bronze figure of a bodhisattva with a similar lotus base, dated mid-6th century, 11.5 cm high, in the National Museum of Korea, accession number M?342. Compare a related gilt bronze figure of a bodhisattva with a similar chain crossing the body, dated first half of the 7th century, 32 cm high, in the National Museum of Korea, accession number Sinsu 3298.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's New York, 22 September 2020, lot 241Price: USD 68,750 or approx.
