A RARE SANCAI GLAZED ROOF TILE OF SAMANTABHADRA, MING DYNASTY
China, 1368-1644. Well modeled on an arched tile riding on his elephant, the left hand on his chest, dressed in long flowing robes cascading in voluminous folds, the long hair tied behind a foliate tiara, his face with a serene expression and downcast eyes, covered overall in sumptuous glazes of emerald-green, amber, ochre, and black.

Provenance
: Theodore Schrire, Cape Town, South Africa, and thence by descent in the same family. Theodore Schrire (1906-1991) attained his MA at the University of Cape Town, where he also received the medal in physiology in 1925. He worked as a general surgeon in private practice and was attached to the department of surgery at the University of Cape Town Medical School under Professor Saint. In 1955 he was awarded the Hamilton-Bailey medal of the Medical Association of South Africa. He later worked as the assistant editor of the South African Medical Journal, where he published numerous papers and edited two books, Emergencies: Casualty Organization and Treatment (1962), and Surgical Emergencies: Diagnoses and Management (1972). After retirement, he pursued his passions and became a respected collector of Chinese works of art, Netsuke, maps of Africa, Palestine and Judaica, and a variety of literary works.

Known as Puxian in Chinese, Samantabhadra is sometimes shown in Chinese art with feminine characteristics, bearing similar dress and features to some depictions of Guanyin. It is in this guise that Samantabhadra is revered as the patron bodhisattva of the monasteries associated with Mount Emei in western China. Some believe that the white elephant mount of Samantabhadra was the same elephant that appeared to Queen Maya, the mother of the Buddha, to herald his birth.

三曼多跋陀羅在中國被稱為普賢,有時在中國藝術中表現出女性特徵,穿著與觀音描繪相似的服飾,中國西部峨眉山是普賢菩薩的道場。有些人認為普賢菩薩的白象坐騎與佛陀的母親摩耶王后現身預示佛祖誕生的大象是同一頭大象。
