A LARGE GILT COPPER ALLOY REPOUSSé HEAD OF SITATAPATRA, DOLONNOR, 18TH CENTURYExpert's note: The remarkable scale of this head indicates that it once belonged to an impressive standing figure, measuring approximately 100-120 cm in height. Such dimensions place it within a rare category of large-scale Dolonnor bronze images, which were produced in far smaller numbers than standard altar figures. Works of this magnitude were typically intended for important monastic settings, where their imposing presence would have reinforced devotional and ritual functions, or were executed as part of prestigious imperial commissions. The size and ambition of the present work therefore imply a context of considerable significance and patronage. Compare a silver and parcel gilt and silvered copper repoussé figure of Maitreya, 111.8 cm high, attributed to Dolonnor and dated to the 18th century, at Bonhams New York, 20 March 2024, lot 718. See also a smaller gilt-copper alloy figure of Sitatapatra with similar foliate crown and facial features, 26 cm high, attributed to Dolonnor and dated to the 18th century, sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 5 October 2020, lot 122.China, Inner Mongolia. Superbly chased and hammered, with charmingly contoured features and a serene, meditative expression, distinguished by heavy-lidded, downcast eyes beneath gently arched eyebrows, a slender nose, and full lips forming a tranquil smile, all framed by long, pendulous earlobes. The hair, enriched with blue tones, neatly arranged in a high chignon and secured by a large tiara composed of five lotus petals, each intricately decorated with scrolling foliage, and flowing ribbons that descend gracefully from the headdress and frame the visage. The tiara with numerous fine inlays in copper and turquoise.Provenance: From a private estate in the midwestern United States.Condition: Overall good condition with old wear, casting irregularities, obvious losses, light warping and minor dents, surface scratches, small nicks, expected rubbing and losses to gilt, extensive remnants of pigment. Some inlays lost, some possible replaced. Fine, naturally grown, dark patina.Weight: 1,127 g (excl. stand), 2,440 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 40.6 cm (excl. stand), 45.9 cm (incl. stand)With an associated metal stand. (2)The present lot displays a number of characteristics that suggest its attribution to the Dolonnor ateliers of Inner Mongolia. Well known for their metalworking techniques involving the use of repoussé to hammer sheets of copper, these workshops supplied sculpture and ritual objects to the rapidly expanding network of Tibetan Buddhist temples along the border regions of the Qing Empire, particularly under the Qianlong Emperor. The present lot was most likely produced during his reign, when Dolonnor developed into a major center of production to meet this growing demand.Dolon Nor, also known as Dolonnor or Dolonnur, is a historic town in Duolun County, Inner Mongolia, China. The town was developed by the Manchu rulers of the Qing dynasty into an important religious center from the mid-seventeenth century onward and became a major center for the production of gilt-bronze Buddhist sculptures, now commonly referred to as “Dolonnor bronzes.” These works supplied monasteries across the Inner Asian borderlands of the Qing Empire, including Mongolia, Tibet, and other regions under imperial patronage.Its historical significance also derives from its proximity to the remains of Shangdu, the summer capital established by Kublai Khan and later used by the Mongol emperors of the Yuan dynasty during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The archaeological site lies approximately 28 kilometers northwest of the present town.Sitatapatra, whose name in Sanskrit means 'White Parasol', is a bodhisattva historically revered as a powerful protector against supernatural harm and calamity. Venerated in both Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions, Sitatapatra is described in Buddhist sources as an emanation of Buddha Gautama, arising from his ushnisha. Devotion to her was particularly resonant in Mongolian and Inner Asian contexts, where she was invoked for protection against enemies and misfortune. Recitation of her mantra is traditionally believed to ensure rebirth in the Pure Land of Amitabha, known as Sukhavati.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Bonhams Paris, 15 December 2022, lot 176Price: EUR 6,375 or approx.
