拍品描述
Kneeling in alidhasana atop prostrate figures on a separately cast lotus base, holding a sword in his raised right hand and a noose in his left. Dressed in a tiger pelt, the face of the feline expressively cast over the bent knee, and the deity further adorned with serpents and a streaming sash.The face with a wrathful expression, wide bulging eyes below furrowed brows, centered by a third eye, thick scrolling facial hair framing the two rows of the bared silver-inlaid teeth, flanked by ears suspending large foliate earrings. The neatly incised hair pulled away from the face and tied into an elaborate chignon in the form of a peacock, secured by a snake-form band appearing to strangle the flamboyant bird, fronted by a five-leaf tiara.All three eyes of the deity, the tiger head, the fur, and at least one prostrate figure are all neatly inlaid in silver. The base is sealed with a copper plate incised with a double-vajra.Provenance: From an old German private collection in Germany, assembled from 1970 onwards, and thence by descent. Condition: Very good condition with expected ancient wear and casting irregularities, light warping, areas of surface corrosion, small dings, few minute nicks, some warping, shallow surface scratches. The copper with a fine, naturally grown, lustrous patina.Weight: 3.6 kg Dimensions: Height 27.5 cmKnown as the “Fierce Wrathful One,” Ca??aro?a?a is a tantric deity embodying the transformative power of enlightened wrath. He belongs to the sphere of esoteric Vajrayāna practice and is associated with rites of protection, subjugation, and the destruction of obstacles. Unlike Acala, whose cult became systematized within several Tibetan schools, Ca??aro?a?a appears more specifically within advanced ritual contexts, where his wrathful aspect serves as a manifestation of uncompromising wisdom.In Tibetan Buddhism, such wrathful deities assume protective roles within mandalic structures and esoteric shrines, guarding tantric transmissions and purifying negative forces. Their attributes—often including ritual implements such as a sword, vajra, chopper, noose, or skullcup—symbolize the cutting of ignorance and the binding of obstructive forces.This sculptural example heightens his wrathful presence through silver-inlaid eyes and teeth, that intensify the fierce gaze. The body is powerfully modeled, with a compact, forceful stance that conveys contained energy rather than mere aggression. The surface has been worn to a smooth, lustrous patina through centuries of ritual handling. The sculpture reflects the expressive force characteristic of early Himalayan tantric art.Literature comparison:Compare a near-identical Nepalese copper figure with silver inlay, identified as Candarosana / Acala, 27.5 cm high, from the Aniko Collection of Dr. Erberto Lo Bue, on loan to the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (accession no. LOAN:ANIKO.7).
