拍品描述
A VERY RARE GILT-LACQUERED LIMESTONE FIGURE OF HVASHANG, TIBET, 18TH CENTURYExpert's note:Hvashang, literally “Chinese monk,” is regarded as a historical figure said to have been dispatched by the Emperor Taizong of Tang to invite Gautama Buddha to visit China. As the Buddha had already entered parinirvana, the invitation was instead conveyed to the Sixteen Great Arhats. Frequently identified as the eighteenth arhat, Hvashang became closely associated with the protection and joyful guardianship of children.An inscription on another Tibetan image of Hvashang—likewise depicted surrounded by children—describes him as “the great master who takes care of the joyous games of each and every child”; see Ulrich von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, 2001, 278B, p. 1076.The patron of the Sixteen Arhats is depicted seated on a throne adorned with floral motifs and a double vajra, with two children at his side, one to his left pulling playfully at his robe, while the other, to his right, reclines against him, one hand resting lightly upon his lap. The right hand raised and the left lowered, clutching a peach. He is dressed in a loose flowing cloak decorated with gilt-lacquered rosettes and belted at the waist, exposing his chest and distended belly.Provenance: Sotheby's London, 10 March 1986, lot 49.
