拍品描述

19 in. (49.5 cm.) high
Sotheby's New York, 20 March 1997, lot 36. 拍品专文 The historical Buddha was first revered through emblems that evoke his presence rather than through figurative images, as the Buddha himself professed the danger of attachment to icons in his own pursuit of enlightenment. Depictions of a bodhi tree, an empty throne, a riderless horse, a chakra or wheel, a parasol and footprints of the Buddha were all examples of what is now known as the early "aniconic phase" of Buddhist art, in whic the presence of the Buddha was inferred through his absence. The tradition developed during the Mauryan Empire in the third-first centuries BCE, and was referenced in the later Greco-Buddhist artistic traditions throughout the ancient region of Gandhara. In a preliterate era, a work of art such as the present lot would have played a powerful role in the transmission of Buddhist philosophy. In the center of each foot print, is a many-spoked dharma chakra or wheel of law, which represents Buddha's first sermon, known as "Turning the Wheel of Dharma." Such symbolism consciously eludes to the early, foundational principles of Buddhist philosophy and the Four Noble Truths. Compare the work to a grey schist buddhapada from a private collection in Japan, illustrated below, depicting the veneration of the footprint symbol.
