拍品描述
Superbly cast seated in dhyanasana on a sharply waisted double-lotus base with beaded rims. His right hand is lowered in bhumisparsha mudra while his left is held above his lap. He is clad in a sheer uttarasanga with finely incised hems, gathering in neatly carved folds at the shoulder and atop the base before the vajra (dorje).His face exquisitely modeled with a serene expression marked by elongated eyes below sinuously arched brows centered by a raised urna, his bow-shaped lips forming a calm smile above the prominent chin, flanked by pendulous earlobes. The hair arranged in tight curls over the high ushnisha surmounted by a golden jewel.The base is sealed with a copper plate incised at the center with a double vajra enclosed within a foliate blossom radiating the Eight Buddhist Emblems. Rare!Provenance: From a private collection in England, acquired before 2000, and thence by descent.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities, light nicks, small surface scratches, few minor dings, signs of tactile worship including rubbing and losses to gilt, remnants of pigment. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, warm patina.Weight: 536 g Dimensions: Height 14 cmThis fine gilt-bronze figure of Shakyamuni Buddha depicts him upon the Vajrasana or 'diamond throne', as indicated by the vajra (Tibetan: dorje) that sits before him. As such, he is known in Tibetan as tub-pa dorje-den. Often confused with the tathagata Akshobhya, this representation of Shakyamuni with a vajra resting before him refers to the moment when the historical Buddha attained enlightenment. Bodhgaya, generally accepted as the site where Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, was originally referred to as Vajrasana, and Himalayan sculptors often used the vajra as a visual symbol for this location.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 12 September 2012, lot 548Price: USD 22,500 or approx.
