拍品描述
A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF NARO DAKINI, TIBETAN-CHINESE, 18TH CENTURYThe wrathful deity finely cast standing in alidhasana, trampling her prostrate worldly emanations, Bhairava and Kalaratri, all atop a separately cast lotus base. Her right hand holding the kartika, the left raised and clasped around a blood-filled kapala which she lowers to her mouth. Clad in a sheer dhoti and richly adorned with beaded jewelry inlaid with turquoise and glass, and a long mundamala around her neck.The face with a fierce expression marked by bulging eyes and bared teeth, flanked by pendulous lobes suspending earrings. Her neatly incised hair falls elegantly down her back and is topped by a half-vajra finial, all fronted by a skull tiara.Provenance: Piasa auctions, Paris, France, 24 March 2005, lot 317, sold for EUR 4,000 including buyer's premium or approximately EUR 8,500 (adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). At the time the piece had also passed through Cabinet Portier for expertise. Acquired by a Swiss-French collector from the above and thence by descent. The interior of the base with remnants of two old and damaged labels, 'Thierry Portier 371' and 'Piasa 83 80'. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Small nicks, tiny dents, surface scratches, rubbing and minor losses to gilt, expected minor losses to inlays, with some possibly replaced. The base unsealed, the interior with areas of verdigris.Weight: 730.2 g Dimensions: Height 16.8 cmThis expressive sculpture depicts Naro Dakini, a transformation or emanation of Vajrayogini as she appeared to Naropa, one of the root Indian gurus of the Sakya school. In Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrayogini is the most important dakini, a class of female celestial beings who take form in this world to train tantric masters in secret doctrines. Whereas she is more often shown dancing, here Vajrayogini is cast standing on prone figures with her skull-cup raised to the sky - perhaps the most heroic pose afforded to any female figure in Tibetan art.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related figure of Naro Dakini, dated to the early 18th century, 16.5 cm high, in the State Hermitage, Saint Petersburg, and illustrated by Marylin Martin Rhie and Robert Thurman, Wisdom and Compassion, New York, 1996, p. 299, no. 114. Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Bonhams New York, 17 September 2014, lot 37Price: USD 27,500 or approx. EUR 31,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A copper alloy figure of Vajrayogini, Tibeto-Chinese, 18th centuryExpert remark: Compare the closely related modeling, manner of casting, gilding, and subject, with similar iconography, prostrate figures, and adornments. Note the size (16.3 cm).
