The base with an old label inscribed with an inventory number, 'T 16'. H.R.H. Princess Niloufar Pahlavi (born 1953) was a member of the Iranian royal family and an active cultural patron and collector, particularly during the later 20th century. As a niece of His Imperial Majesty the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, she moved within international aristocratic and artistic circles, where she developed a refined taste for fine art, decorative arts, and luxury objects. When she moved to Paris with her husband in the 1980s, she assembled an eclectic and sensitive collection housed in a discreet Parisian H?tel Particulier, which was decorated by Jacques Grange in the early 2000s. Condition: Good condition with expected ancient wear, casting irregularities, rubbing to the gilt, small dents, few tiny nicks and losses, light scratches.Weight: 245 g Dimensions: Height 10 cmAmitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, is the deity associated with the rites that ensure long life. He is especially worshiped by Tibetans, who believe that life can be extended through long lineages, faith, and compassion. It is also believed that one can achieve self-enlightenment and cater to the welfare of others with the help of Amitayus. The current work displays strong characteristics of Nepalese ateliers, particularly the rich coppery tone of the bronze. These workshops had a strong influence on the arts of China and the autonomously-ruled Southeastern regions of Tibet under the Yuan and early Ming dynasties.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 26 September 2023, lot 310Price: USD 16,380 or approx.
