A FINE BRONZE FIGURE OF JAMBUPATI BUDDHA WITH TWO ATTENDANTS, 2ND AVA PERIOD, 16TH-18TH CENTURYPublished: R. van Dijk, Serenity: Typology of Southeast Asian Buddha Art Styles. Asian Art Collection, 2022, p. 324-326.Expert's note: In Burmese Buddhist imagery of the Ava period, crowned Buddha images are sometimes accompanied by small kneeling attendants placed symmetrically at the base. These figures represent devoted worshipers paying homage to the Buddha and reinforce the devotional setting in which such images were venerated. Examples with surviving attendants are comparatively rare, as these small projecting figures were particularly vulnerable to damage or loss over time. Their presence therefore adds both iconographic significance and rarity to the composition.Burma (Myanmar). Finely cast, seated in dhyanasana on a tiered pedestal that has been cinched near the top, flanked by two separately cast diminutive figures of worshipers kneeling in prayer, his right hand lowered in varada mudra while the left is held in dhyana mudra above the lap, wearing a tight-fitting robe and adorned with beaded jewelry, his face in a serene expression with heavy-lidded eyes, elegantly arched brows, and full lips forming a subtle smile, the hair pulled up into a high chignon topped by a tall finial behind the foliate crown with large, intricately cast and pierced ribbons of leafy scroll. (3)Provenance: Galerie Michael Herrfurth: Asian Art, Essen, Germany. Collection of René van Dijk, Delft, Netherlands, acquired from the above. René van Dijk is a Dutch tax advisor who over four decades has built an impressive collection of Asian art and antiques. He has published several books on his collection, focusing on the typology of different art forms, including Southeast Asian Buddhist sculpture, Khmer art, Chinese mingqi, Burmese opium weights, and Amlash animal vessels. In addition, he has written extensively about what he calls “lost forms of money”—that is, objects that essentially functioned as money in past societies but which were not conventional coinage.Condition:?Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Light scratches, minor dings, remnants of gilding, little corrosion, and minor warping. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina, and areas of malachite encrustation.Weight: 3,083 gDimensions: Height 37.5 cmJambupati Buddha?figures such as this are dressed in the robes of a contemporary Burmese monarch. This relates to a legend, found both in Burma and Thailand, in which the unbelieving Indian king Jambupati was overawed by the Buddha. By appearing in magnificent royal robes, the Buddha demonstrated his great power and converted the king.In this period the Shan and Myanmar styles integrate into this 2nd 3rd period Ava style, where the face is rounder with a pointed chin and a small but distinctive mouth, with a clear cleft above the upper lip. The nose is straight with flaring nostrils, the eyebrows curved, the eyes gaze downwards.In 1555, King Bayinnaung dislodged Shan King Sithu Kyawhtin from Ava. By 1557 he went on to conquer all of what would become known as the Burmese Shan States under his rule, from the Assamese border in the northwest to those in Kachin and Shan Hills, including the two most powerful Shan States, Mohnyin and Mogaung. The Shan States were reduced to the status of governorships, but the Saophas (rulers) were permitted to retain their royal regalia and their feudal rights over their own subjects. Bayinnaung introduced Burmese customary law and prohibited all human and animal sacrifices. He also required the sons of Saophas to reside in the Burmese king's palace, essentially hostages, in order to ensure the good conduct of their fathers and to receive training in Burmese court life. Burmese kings continued this policy until 1885, when the Kingdom fell to the British. In the mid-18th century, the Burmese Konbaung dynasty's reassertion of the easternmost boundaries of Burmese Shan States led to war with China, following which eight of the Chinese Shan States were briefly occupied by the Kingdom of Burma. The Burmese success in repelling Chinese forces laid the foundation for the present-day boundary between Burma and China.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bronze figure of Jambupati Buddha, Burma, dated 17th-18th century, 40.6 cm high, in the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number IS.41-1994.
