拍品描述
A RARE GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF VARAHA, NEPAL, 16TH-17TH CENTURY
Cast striding on a nagaraja above a lotus base, dressed in a loin cloth, adorned with beaded jewelry and bangles, his left arm raised supporting the goddess Bhudevi, his face in the form of a boar with long snout and two protruding fangs, standing on a coiled snake next to a small depiction of Buddha Muchalinda. The base sealed and incised with a double vajra.

Provenance
: From the private collection of Angela Trueb, Somerset, United Kingdom, and thence by descent in the same family. Angela Trueb (1918-1991) was the wife of Swiss coffee planter Hans Trueb. During her childhood, she spent many years in a coffee estate in Doddengudda, South India, and later moved to India again with her husband. Trueb inherited her mother’s passion for Indian religious sculptures and art. During her stay in India, Trueb invested a lot of time and energy into researching Indian temple sites and started her collection, which was later moved to her home when her family returned to Somerset in 1967.
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear, few nicks and dents, light surface scratches, and casting flaws. Very good, naturally grown patina overall. Sealed.

Weight: 646.5 g
Dimensions: Height 14.1 cm

The present figure depicts Vishnu as the cosmic boar Varaha telling the scene where the god prevents the earth from flooding. The earth goddess Bhudevi was captured by the demon Hiranayaksha and trapped in the cosmic waters when Vishnu took the form of a divine boar and rescued her after defeating the primeval serpent monster.
