拍品描述: Seated with legs wide apart on a bench, on a footed base, both hands holding a hu tablet, the headress displaying three phoenixes by which she can be identified as the Sovereign of the Clouds of Dawn, the garment borders and shawl decorated with blossoms and scrolls in engraving. Remains of a lacquer coating with gilding and red colour to the bench. The two pins at the base belong to the now lost figures of children. Front part of the socle filled with lacquered wood.The Daoist goddess Bixia Yuanjun 碧霞元君, Sovereign of the clouds of dawn, is clearly identifiable by her headdress consisting of three phoenixes and the hu-board she holds in front of her chest. She should not be confused with her two main attendants Yanguang Niangniang 眼光娘娘 (Goddess of Eyesight) and Zisun Niangniang 子孙娘娘 (Goddess of Children), who wear similar headdresses but hold an eye and a baby respectively as identifying attributes.Among other things, Bixia Yuanjun is also the female deity who presides over Taishan (Taishan Niangniang 泰山娘娘) in Shandong province, one of China's Five Great Mountains. Here, a large temple complex is dedicated to her. Representations of Bixia Yuanjun are consequently found in this area. As a deity responsible for male offspring, she is worshipped mainly in Northern China, and thus corresponds to the bodhisattva Guanyin in his female manifestation, who is paid homage to in Southern China. The sinologist Susan Naquin, who has worked extensively on this subject, states that Bixia figures are particularly common in German collections, as they were apparently acquired by the German residents in the leasehold territory of Kiaotschou (Jiaozhou) (1898-1914) in Shandong province.Height 53.4 cmProvenanceCollection Dr. Heinrich Dirksen (1861—1935), thence by descent Die daoistische G?ttin Bixia Yuanjun. Bronze. Ming-ZeitBreitbeinig auf einer Bank sitzend, auf einem Sockel, in beiden vor der Brust gehaltenen H?nden eine hu-Tafel. Auf dem Kopf in der Art von Kopfputz drei Ph?nixe, die sie als G?ttin der Wolken des Morgengrauens identifizieren. Gewandborte und Schal mit Ranken und Blüten graviert. Reste einer Lackfassung mit Spuren von Vergoldung sowie rotem Lack am Rücken und an der Bank. Die kleinen Dübel am Sockel verweisen auf die beiden heute nicht mehr existenten Kinderfiguren. Etwas besch., vorderer Teil des Sockels mit Holz erg?nzt.Die daoistische G?ttin Bixia Yuanjun 碧霞元君, die G?ttin der Morgenwolken, ist eindeutig identifizierbar anhand ihres aus drei vollplastischen Ph?nixen bestehenden Kopfschmucks und dem hu-Brett, das sie vor der Brust h?lt. Sie sollte nicht verwechselt werden mit ihren beiden Begleiterinnen Yanguang Niangniang 眼光娘娘 (G?ttin des Augenlichts) und Zisun Niangniang 子孙娘娘 (G?ttin der Kinder), die einen ?hnlichen Kopfschmuck tragen aber als identifizierende Attribute ein Auge bzw. ein Baby halten.Bixia Yuanjun gilt unter anderem auch als G?ttin des Berges Tai (Taishan Niangniang 泰山娘娘) in der Provinz Shandong, einem der Fünf Gro?en Berge Chinas, wo sich eine ihr gewidmete gro?e Tempelanlage befindet. Daher sind Darstellungen der Bixia Yuanjun vor allem in der Provinz Shandong anzutreffen. Als Gottheit, die für m?nnliche Nachkommenschaft zust?ndig ist, wird sie in Nord-China verehrt, und entspricht somit dem bodhisattva Guanyin in seiner weiblichen Erscheinung, der in Süd-China verehrt wird. Die amerikanische Sinologin Susan Naquin, die sich intensiv mit diesem Thema besch?ftigt hat, konstatiert, dass Bixia-Figuren besonders h?ufig in deutschen Sammlungen anzutreffen sind, wahrscheinlich weil sie von den deutschen Besatzern im Pachtgebiet Kiaotschou (Jiaozhou) (1898-1914), das in der Provinz Shandong liegt, erworben wurden.H 53,4 cmProvenienzSammlung Dr. Heinrich Dirksen (1861—1935), seither in Familienbesitz

Conditions of Sale
1. The art auction house, Kunsthaus Lempertz (henceforth referred to as Lempertz), conducts public auctions in terms of § 383 paragraph 3 sentence 1 of the Civil Code as commissioning agent on behalf of the accounts of submitters, who remain anonymous. With regard to its auctioneering terms and conditions drawn up in other languages, the German version remains the official one.
2. The auctioneer reserves the right to divide or combine any catalogue lots or, if it has special reason to do so, to offer any lot for sale in an order different from that given in the catalogue or to withdraw any lot from the sale.
3. All lots put up for sale may be viewed and inspected prior to the auction. The catalogue specifications and related specifications appearing on the internet, which have both been compiled in good conscience, do not form part of the contractually agreed to conditions. These specifications have been derived from the status of the information available at the time of compiling the catalogue. They do not serve as a guarantee in legal terms and their purpose is purely in the information they provide. The same applies to any reports on an item's condition or any other information, either in oral or written form. Certificates or certifications from artists, their estates or experts relevant to each case only form a contractual part of the agreement if they are specifically mentioned in the catalogue text. The state of the item is generally not mentioned in the catalogue. Likewise missing specifications do not constitute an agreement on quality. All items are used goods.
4. In the event of variances from the catalogue descriptions, which result in negation or substantial diminution of value or suitability, and which are reported with due justification within one year after handover, Lempertz nevertheless undertakes to pursue its rights against the seller through the courts; in the event of a successful claim against the seller, Lempertz will reimburse the buyer only the total purchase price paid. German is the official language for the catalogue text. Over and above this, Lempertz undertakes to reimburse its commission within a given period of two years after the date of the sale if the object in question proves not to be authentic. Liability of Lempertz for faults or defects is otherwise excluded.

5. Claims for compensation as the result of a fault or defect in the object auctioned or damage to it or its loss, regardless of the legal grounds, or as the result of variances from the catalogue description or statements made elsewhere are excluded unless Lempertz acted with wilful intent or gross negligence; in other regards, point 4 applies.

6. Submission of bids. Bids in attendance: The floor bidder receives a bidding number on presentation of a photo ID. Lempertz reserves the right to grant entry to the auction. If the bidder is not known to Lempertz, registration must take place 24 hours before the auction is due to begin in writing on presentation of a current bank reference. Bids in absentia: Bids can also be submitted either in writing, telephonically or via the internet. The placing of bids in absentia must reach Lempertz 24 hours before the auction to ensure the proper processing thereof. The item must be mentioned in the bid placed, together with ticket number and item description. In the event of ambiguities, the listed ticket number becomes applicable. The placement of a bid must be signed by the applicant. The regulations regarding revocations and the right to return the goods in the case of long distance agreements (§ 312b - d of the Civil Code) do not apply. Telephonic bids: Establishing and maintaining a connection cannot be vouched for. In submitting a bid placement, the bidder declares that he agrees to the recording of the bidding process. Bids via the internet: They will only be accepted by Lempertz if the bidder registered himself on the internet website beforehand. Lempertz will treat such bids in the same way as bids in writing.

7. Carrying out the auction. The hammer will come down when no higher bids are submitted after three calls for a bid. In extenuating circumstances, the auctioneer reserves the right to bring down the hammer or he can refuse to accept a bid. If several individuals make the same bid at the same time, and after the third call, no higher bid ensues, then the ticket becomes the deciding factor. The auctioneer can retract his acceptance of the bid and auction the item once more if a higher bid that was submitted on time, was erroneously overlooked and immediately queried by the bidder, or if any doubts regarding its acceptance arise (§ 2 point 4 VerstVO). Bids are only played to an absolute maximum by Lempertz if this is deemed necessary to outbid another bid. The auctioneer can bid on behalf of the submitter up to the agreed limit, without revealing this and irrespective of whether other bids are submitted. Even if bids have been placed and the hammer has not come down, the auctioneer is only liable to the bidder in the event of premeditation or gross negligence.

8. Once a lot has been knocked down, the successful bidder is obliged to buy it. If a bid is accepted conditionally, the bidder is bound by its bid until four weeks after the auction unless it immediately withdraws from the conditionally accepted bid. From the fall of the hammer, possession and risk pass directly to the buyer, while ownership passes to the buyer only after full payment has been received.

9. A premium of 29 % (24% + 5% live bidding fee) calculated on the hammer price plus 19 % value added tax calculated on the surcharge only is levied (margin scheme). On the lots which are characterized by an *, the buyer shall pay a premium of 29% (24% +5% live bidding fee) on the hammer price; onto this (hammer price and premium) the statutory VAT of 19% for decorative art and photography will be added. (Regelbesteuerung = regular scheme). For original works of art and photographies whose author died after 31.12.1945, a charge of 1.9% on the hammer price will be levied fort he droit de suite. Invoices may be issued for buyers who are entitled to a Pre-Tax Deduction for art and decorative art for all lots according to the existing ?Regelbesteuerung? (regular scheme). These buyers must identify themselves when receiving their bidding paddle. Exports to third (i.e. non-EU) countries will be exempt from VAT, and so will be exports made by companies from other EU member states if they state their VAT identification number.

10. Successful bidders attending the auction in person shall forthwith upon the purchase pay to Lempertz the final price (hammer price plus premium and VAT) in Euro. Payments by foreign buyers who have bid in writing or by proxy shall also be due forthwith upon the purchase, but will not be deemed to have been delayed if received within ten days of the invoice date. Cheques cannot be accepted. The request for an alteration of an auction invoice to a person other than the bidder has to be made immediately after the auction. Lempertz however also reserves the right to refuse such a request if it is deemed appropriate.

11. In the case of payment default, Lempertz will charge interest on the outstanding amount at a rate of 1 % of the gross price per month or part month. If payment is made in a foreign currency, any exchange rate losses and bank charges will be borne by the buyer. If the buyer defaults in payment, Lempertz may at its discretion insist on performance of the purchase contract or, after allowing a period of grace, claim damages for non-performance. In the latter case, Lempertz may determine the amount of the damages by putting the lot or lots up for auction again, in which case the defaulting buyer will bear the amount of any reduction in the proceeds compared with the earlier auction, plus the cost of resale, including the premium.

12. Buyers must take charge of their purchases immediately after the auction. Once a lot has been sold, the auctioneer is liable only for wilful intent or gross negligence. Lots will not, however, be surrendered to buyers until full payment has been received. Without exception, shipment will be at the expense and risk of the buyer. Purchases which are not collected within four weeks after the auction may be stored and insured by Lempertz on behalf of the buyer and at its expense in the premises of a freight agent. If Lempertz stores such items itself, it will charge 1 % of the hammer price for insurance and storage costs.

13. As far as this can be agreed, the place of performance and jurisdiction is Cologne. German law applies; the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG are not applicable. Should any provision herein be wholly or partially ineffective, this will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
