KARMAPA, RANGJUNG DORJE (1284-1339), TIBET, 15TH-16TH CENTURYExpert's Note:This figure represents Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339), the Third Karmapa of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, one of the most influential hierarchs in the history of Tibetan religious thought. Recognized as the third incarnation in the Karmapa lineage, he played a decisive role in consolidating the doctrinal foundations of the Karma Kagyu tradition and in strengthening its institutional presence across Tibet and the Yuan imperial sphere.Rangjung Dorje was renowned not only as a spiritual master but also as a major intellectual figure. He composed important treatises that sought to synthesize Yogācāra and Madhyamaka philosophical systems, and he articulated influential interpretations of tathāgatagarbha (Buddha-nature) doctrine. His writings became foundational within the Karma Kagyu scholastic curriculum and continued to shape Tibetan Buddhist discourse for centuries.The hierarch is finely cast seated in dhyanasana on a lotus base with his right hand raised in abhaya mudra and the left held above the lap holding an alms bowl. He is dressed in richly engraved monastic robes decorated with foliate scroll centered by a double-vajra between the knees and spilling in subtly detailed folds over the base, the elaborate incision work continuing over the back of the robe and repeated on his cap.His serene face shows silvered almond-shaped eyes with incised pupils, elegantly arched brows, and bow-shaped lips forming a subtle smile, flanked by elongated earlobes. He wears a pandita-style cap and his hair is pulled up in a conical chignon, surmounted by a lotiform jewel.The back of the base is neatly incised with a Tibetan inscription: O? svasti rje btsun bla ma karma pa rang byung rdo rje — Om, auspiciousness; the Venerable Lord Lama, the Karmapa Rangjung Dorje.Provenance: From an old private collection in Hamburg, Germany.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities. Rubbing and minor losses to gilt. Few minute nicks and light surface scratches. Light warping to base. The base possibly resealed. Weight: 812.7 gDimensions: Height 13 cmThis beautiful portrait of the famed Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339), represents the centuries-old tradition of producing Buddhist effigies of the most important and beloved historical figures. Carefully incised patterns cover almost every inch of the Dorje's robes, conveying the impression of spectacular gold-embroidered silks covering a precious being. This style of decoration is exclusively found on a number of highly important 15th to 16th century Tibetan portrait bronzes depicting high-status lamas and is otherwise untypical of Himalayan gilt-bronze sculpture.Literature comparison: Compare a related gilt-bronze figure of a lama with similar incision work, dated to the 16th century, in the Museum der Kulturen, Basel, illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources, item number 3314840.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams New York, 14 March 2017, lot 3228 Price: USD 137,500 or approx. EUR 154,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : A gilt copper alloy figure of the second Karmapa, Karma Pakshi, Tibet, 16th century Expert remark: Compare the closely related decoration with similar incision work as well as the related modeling, manner of casting, and gilding. Note the size (18 cm) and that this is a portrait figure of the second Karmapa.
