拍品描述
This Bodhisattva, seated in a relaxed posture, makes the gesture of reassurance, abhayamudra, with his right hand, and the left lowered. Wearing a sheer dhoti secured by a floral belt and richly adorned with beaded jewelry neatly inset with turquoise inlays, an antelope skin draped over the left arm. The serene face with downcast eyes and bow-shaped lips forming a benevolent smile, flanked by ears issuing pendulous earrings. The hair is arranged in a high chignon crowned by a five-leaf tiara.The underside retaining its original two seals, the larger flanked by two large and massively cast loops for attachment in a temple shrine.Provenance: From a private collection in Germany. Condition: Good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities, signs of old heat damage, traces of weathering, encrustations, minor losses, light warping and few minor dents, small nicks and surface scratches, old repairs at the right shoulder and back of the head. Remnants of old black lacquer and varnish. Losses to inlays, with some added later. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina.Weight: 8.9 kg (excl. stand), 10.2 kg (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 46 cm (excl. stand), 49 cm (incl. stand)With an associated hardwood stand. (2)Expert's note: The solid casting and the seat with one leg folded over the other rather than in the more typical dhyanasana posture are unique features found in bodhisattva figures from Malla period Nepal. The beak-like nose and bowed lips, as well as the five-part foliate tiara with ribbons fanning to the side reveal Newari workmanship, the master artisans from the Kathmandu Valley.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Nepalese bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara, dated to the 14th century, 45.1 cm high, in the Norton Simon Museum, accession number F.1976.05.02.S. Compare a closely related Nepalese gilt-copper figure of a seated bodhisattva, dated to 13th century, 47.6 cm high, in the Asia Society, New York, accession number 1979.49.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 22 March 2011, lot 24 Price: USD 134,500 or approx.
