Amitabha, here in his long-life aspect as Amitayus, holding the vase of amrita, the elixir of immortality.3. Amoghasiddhi, his hand raised in vitarka mudra, the gesture of teaching and intellectual discourse.4. Vairocana, the cosmic Buddha embodying ultimate truth, forming the dharmachakra mudra, the gesture of turning the Wheel of the Law.The Buddhas are separated by wrathful guardians including Acala and Mahakala, fierce protectors who subdue obstacles and safeguard the sacred realm represented in the composition.The upper register with diminutive Buddha figures in various colors and lamas dressed in monastic robes in the corners.

A noted private collection in Mallorca, acquired from the above. Anton Exner (1882-1952) was the most important dealer, collector, and assessor of East Asian art in Vienna during the interwar period. His collection included all branches of Asian art, from all epochs, and particularly Chinese and Japanese works. During a long sojourn through Canada and the USA from 1908 to 1910, he made first contacts with Chinese dealers and subsequently acquired numerous antiques at various Asian ports, which formed the basis for his future business activities. From then on, he went almost every year on buying trips to the Far East. The Austrian auction house Dorotheum appointed him as a sworn assessor of Asian art, a position he held for c. 25 years. From the early 1920s onwards, he lent objects to most major exhibitions of Asian art held in Austria, and eventually gifted a large part of his personal collection, numbering several thousand objects, to the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, where it is on permanent exhibition to this day.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, minor soiling, light creasing, little flaking to pigments and minor surface abrasions with few minuscule losses, little fraying to edges.Dimensions: Size 72 x 229 cmAuction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams New York, 24 March 2023, lot 615 Price: USD 15,300 or approx.
