拍品描述
Description:A BRONZE DAKINI WITH NAGA AND KAPALA, 18TH CENTURY
Nepal. Seated in a dynamic pose with her left knee raised, wearing a skirt and a sash around her right shoulder. Adorned in beaded jewelry, holding a skullcap (kapala) in one hand and a serpent (naga), sinuously writhing around her body, in the other. The wrathful face with bulging eyes and furrowed brows, the hair arranged in a high chignon with a skull headdress.

Provenance: From a noted French private estate.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities, some small nicks and light scratches.

Weight: 1,664 g
Dimensions: Height 17.5 cm, Width 20 cm

Expert's note: In Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhism, dakinis are understood as fierce female embodiments of enlightened energy. While the kapala, skull tiara, and dynamic posture are all characteristic of dakinis as depicted in Buddhist bronzes, the snake (naga) is a rare attribute, one which perfectly conveys the powerful protection that dakini offers.

Literature comparison: Compare a Tibetan gilt-copper alloy figure of dakini (erroneously described as yogini) dated to the 16th century, also holding a writhing snake in her hand, at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 26 May 2021, lot 116.

Auction result comparison: Compare a Chinese bronze of a dakini, also dated to the 18th century and with similar posture and headdress, at Christie's Paris in Art d'Asie on 10 December 2014, lot 389, sold for EUR 59,100.

十八世紀空行母銅像
尼泊爾。空行母坐姿矯健,左膝擡起,身著衣裙,右肩上斜披著一條飄帶。 頸部飾有串珠首飾,一手持盛滿血及靈藥的嘎巴拉碗,另一隻手捏著一條蛇,在她的身體周圍蜿蜒扭動。空行母怒目圓睜,眉頭緊鎖,高髮髻,頭戴頭骨串成的花冠。

來源:法國知名私人收藏。
品相:品相極好,輕微磨損和鑄造缺陷,局部有小刻痕和劃痕。

重量:1,664 克
尺寸:高17.5 厘米, 寬20 厘米

專家注釋:在尼泊爾和藏傳佛教中,空行母被認爲是證悟能量的兇猛女性化身。嘎巴拉碗、頭骨頭飾和動態姿勢都是佛教空行母銅像的特徵,而蛇是一種罕見的存在,完美地表現了空行母所能提供的強大保護力量。

文獻比較:一組三件西藏鎏金銅空行母 (錯誤地被描述為瑜伽師) ,斷代為十六世紀,其中一位手中同樣捏著一條蛇,可見香港蘇富比2021年5月26日,lot 116。

拍賣結果比較:一件中國空行母銅像,十八世紀,相近姿勢和頭飾,見巴黎佳士得 Art d'Asie 2014年12月10 日,lot 389, 售價EUR 59,100。
