拍品描述

11 in. (28.6 cm.) high
Private collection, acquired in Hong Kong, 23 May 1990. 拍品专文 This large and impressive figure of the primordial buddha, Vajradhara, displays characteristics of both Nepalese and Tibetan bronze imagery, and illustrates the confluence of styles present in the regions of western Nepal and Tibet that formed the kingdom of the Khasa Mallas. The figure sits upright with his legs in dhyanasana and his arms crossed in front of his chest, holding the vajra and ghanta. The joints of each finger are delineated through incised lines, a characteristic common to bronzes associated with the Khasa Malla kingdom. The figure is adorned with various beaded jewelry, including a double-stranded beaded necklace with three foliate pendants that accentuates the broad neck with its horizontal lines echoing the physical traits of the Buddha; this representation of the neck resembles images associated with the Khasa Malla style, including a gilt-copper figure of Shadakshari Lokeshvara, illustrated by I. Alsop in “The Metal Sculpture of the Khasa Mallas of West Nepal/West Tibet,” Orientations, Hong Kong, June 1994, fig. 9. Other aspects that can be compared between the two figures include the facial features that are delineated with raised casting, and the somewhat stylized, almost horizontal rendering of the ears. The reverse of the bronze also bears applied red pigments, particularly at the back of the base, a feature common to bronzes from the Khasa Malla kingdom. The present bronze does display certain idiosyncratic features which cannot be definitively associated with any particular style or kingdom. One such feature is the representation of the terminals of the beaded jewelry, including at both shoulders and resting on the top of the base between the ankles; the bead chain splits into a V-shape, with the interior edge rendered with a scalloped form. Another feature is the symbol at the front of the base, ‘attached’ to the front edge of the base with a beaded chain. The symbol is formed with a crescent shape topped with a tear-drop. The exact meaning of the symbol is unclear, although it might possibly represent a form of offering to the deity a stylized lit butter lamp.
