A LARGE (55.5 CM) COPPER REPOUSSé FIGURE OF SHADAKSHARI LOKESHVARA, NEPAL, 17TH TO 18TH CENTURYFinely modeled, the deity is seated in dhyānasana on a double-lotus pedestal, the principal hands held together before the chest in anjali mudra, the secondary hands holding a rosary and a lotus bud. Richly adorned with beaded jewelry, a single bead inlaid with coral, the deity wears a diaphanous dhoti falling in voluminous folds before the ankles, the hems decorated with a band of scrolling foliage.The composed face conveys quiet authority, detailed with downcast eyes beneath gently arched brows and centered by a raised urna, flanked by elongated earlobes suspending circular earrings. The hair is arranged in a high chignon surmounted by a diminutive figure of Amitabha Buddha, set before a five-leaf crown inlaid with a coral cabochon at the centre. The base is sealed with a copper plate.Expert's note:The diminutive Amitabha crowning the chignon is executed with exceptional refinement. Despite its small scale, the figure is rendered with sharply defined facial features, precise modeling of the robes, and crisp incised details. The level of finish surpasses that typically encountered on recorded repoussé examples of this type, where the subsidiary Buddha is often treated more schematically. Here, the remarkable finesse of this small figure underscores the extraordinary quality of the overall workmanship.Provenance:- An old private collection in Belgium.- Gallery De Ruimte, Netherlands.- Marcel Nies, Antwerp, Belgium, by 1980.- Georg Luitpold Hartl, Munich, Germany, acquired from the above and thence by descent in the family.A copy of an old exhibition card, handwritten by Georg Luitpold Hartl for the present lot, confirming the dating and provenance above, accompanies the lot.Marcel Nies is a Belgian art expert and dealer who specializes in important works of art from Southeast Asia, India, and the Himalaya regions.
