拍品描述
Superbly cast in three parts, the deity striding in alidhasana on a buffalo over a prone human figure on a lotus base, his hands extended out to his sides. The Lord of Death is adorned with beaded jewelry extending to his belly, issuing a dharmachakra ornament inlaid at the center with a ruby, a turquoise inlay to a bracelet, a garland of severed heads, and a tasseled celestial scarf draped over his shoulders.His face with a fierce expression marked by three large eyes and an open mouth exposing four pointed fangs framed by bushy eyebrows and a beard, below a pair of sharp horns, his flaming hair secured by a three-skull diadem. He is accompanied by Chamunda standing before him and offering a skull cup in her left hand, her face with a wrathful expression gazing into his eyes.The base sealed with a copper plate incised with a double vajra. (3)Provenance: The private collection of Richard Steiskal-Paur, Vienna, and thence by descent. The base with an old label inscribed 'KS 167. Gott Mehakale. Bronce. Thibet [sic] 18 Jhdt.'

Few small nicks, surface scratches, tiny dings, expected losses to inlays, little rubbing to gilt, remnants of pigment.Weight: 1,287 g Dimensions: Height 18.3 cmYama Dharmaraja was the Lord of Death in ancient Indian mythology but was adopted into the Buddhist pantheon as a Dharma protector. This fearsome god (known as the Outer or External form) is therefore one of the major protectors of Buddhist practice who confronts outer obstacles and protects practitioners (Sangha) from misfortune. The bull upon which he stands is ravaging the body of ignorant life beneath him.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related larger gilt-copper figure of Dharmapala Yamaraja and Chamunda, dated to the 18th century, 36 cm high, in the National Museum of Art, Smithsonian Institute, accession number S2013.23a-e.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 13 September 2011, lot 375Price: USD 22,500 or approx.
