Bonhams Hong Kong, 2 October 2018, lot 56, mid-estimate HKD 300,000 or approx. EUR 37,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). Jules Speelman is a world-leading dealer and collector of East Asian art with 60 years of experience. In 1964 he joined his late father, Alfred, in the family business which already stretched back three generations to 19th century Holland and expanded into England around the turn of the century. Originally, A & J Speelman dealt with antiques, from European ceramics, silver, tapestries, and furniture to Chinese porcelain, and works of art. With his father, Jules gradually shifted the focus towards Asia and under Jules Speelman's skilled direction, A & J Speelman is now considered amongst the foremost dealers in Asian antiques, with a particular emphasis on figurative sculpture and works of art from the past 2000 years. Published: Himalayan Art Resources, item number 61787.Condition: Very good condition with old wear, expected casting irregularities, few minor losses, tiny nicks, light surface scratches. Weight: 434 g (excl. stand) Dimensions: Height 13.5 cm (excl. stand), 16.1 cm (incl. stand)With a modern stand. (2)Traditionally, silver in Tibet is rarer and considered more precious than gold, being spared for commissions deemed more costly, meritorious, and efficacious. Its use was largely reserved for currency and ritual vessels; consequently, silver sculpture is extremely rare.Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi's gendered symbolism convey the enlightened consciousness that arises from a union of Buddhism's two highest virtues, wisdom and compassion. The male Chakrasamvara represents perfected compassion, while the female Vajravarahi represents perfected wisdom. Their erotic imagery combined represents the perfected union of these respective virtues.
