拍品描述
Description:A BLACK STONE HEAD OF AVALOKITESHVARA, PALA PERIOD
Northeastern India, 11th-12th century. The face showing a serene expression, with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes beneath gently arched eyebrows, full lips forming a subtle smile, and a distinct rounded chin, flanked by long and elegantly curved ears, the hair elaborately piled up in a high coiffure centered by a small Buddha Amitabha.

Provenance: From a noted Bavarian private collection, assembled between 1980 and 2010.
Condition: Remarkably good condition, commensurate with age, old wear, some weathering, losses. With a fine and unctuous, naturally grown patina.

Weight: 6.1 kg (incl. base)
Dimensions: Height 26 cm (excl. base) and 33 cm (incl. base)

With a modern plexiglass base. (2)

Literature comparison: Compare a limestone figure of Avalokiteshvara, excavated in Amaravati and dated to the 8th-9th century, in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1880,0709.59. Compare also an Indian bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara dated to the late 7th century in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number IM.300-1914. Compare a repoussé gold figure of Avalokiteshvara, dated to the late 7th to early 8th century, at Sotheby's London, in The Midas Touch, on 17 October 2018, lot 26. Note in all three examples the similar headdresses with seated Amitabha figures, an unmistakable attribute of Avalokiteshvara.

Auction result comparison: Compare a related black stone head of considerably smaller size (14 cm high), depicting Vishnu, at Christie's New York in Indian, Himalayan & Southeast Asian Works of Art on 20 March 2019, lot 648, sold for USD 12,500, and another of slightly larger size (30.5 cm high) at Christie's New York in Indian, Himalayan & Southeast Asian Works of Art on 13 September 2016, lot 239, sold for USD 17,500.
