拍品描述
Tibetan-Chinese. Cast in three parts, the wrathful deity striding in alidhasana atop a lotus base and holding his consort in yab-yum, their hands held in karana mudra. He is dressed in a tiger skin and wears a sash elegantly framing his shoulders, while both are richly adorned with beaded jewelry. His face with a fierce expression framed by his beard and foliate crown, the flaming hair centered by a vajra head.The base retains it's original copper sealing plate, neatly incised with a double vajra emblem.Provenance: From the collection of Princess Niloufar Pahlavi, acquired together with her other Buddhist figures in the sale as a group collection in Paris circa 1985. The base with an old label inscribed with an inventory number, 'T 54'. H.R.H. Princess Niloufar Pahlavi (born 1953) was a member of the Iranian royal family and an active cultural patron and collector, particularly during the later 20th century. As a niece of His Imperial Majesty the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, she moved within international aristocratic and artistic circles, where she developed a refined taste for fine art, decorative arts, and luxury objects. When she moved to Paris with her husband in the 1980s, she assembled an eclectic and sensitive collection housed in a discreet Parisian H?tel Particulier, which was decorated by Jacques Grange in the early 2000s. Condition: Good condition with expected old wear, casting irregularities, few tiny nicks and small dents, light surface scratches, rubbing to gilt, minor losses to attributes.Weight: 483 g Dimensions: Height 10.5 cmThe fierce form of the bodhisattva Vajrapani is evoked in Tibetan Buddhism as a protector of the faith, Dharmapala, and remover of obstacles. His principal symbol, the vajra, the adamantine diamond scepter, is seen peeking out of his flaming hair and represents the power of compassion. The union of Vajrapani and his consort embodies the fundamental Tibetan Buddhist aspiration of enlightenment through the practise of wisdom in countering negativity and compassion for the suffering of sentient beings.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's London, 15 May 2015, lot 574Price: GBP 5,250 or approx.
