拍品描述
A RARE GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF A STANDING MAITREYA, NEPAL, 14TH CENTURY
Finely cast standing on a circular lotus base with tiered beaded rims, his left hand raised in front of the chest and holding a lotus stem coming to full bloom at the shoulder topped by a kundika, his right pendent and similarly holding a lotus stem. Clad in a sheer dhoti incised with foliate designs and flaring at the sides, richly adorned with beaded and floral jewelry with inlays of turquoise, lapis lazuli, and coral.

Provenance: Jacques How Asian Art, Brussels, Belgium. A noted German private collection, acquired from the above. The base with an old label from Jacques How Asian Art. Jacques How-Choong has been collecting and dealing in Chinese and Southeast Asian art for many years, specializing in particular in Himalayan art and ritual objects, rare early Buddhist art, focusing on Dali Kingdom sculpture, as well as archaic works of art. Several museums, institutions, dealers, and private collectors are among his clientele. He is a distinguished member of Asian Art in Brussels and also exhibits annually at Parcours des Mondes in Paris.
Condition: Good condition with some wear, particularly to gilt, minuscule nicks, minor dents, light scratches. The inlays possibly replaced at different times over many centuries. The figure leaning. The base sealed. The back with a small inlaid bronze plaque of rectangular shape for ritual purpose.

Weight: 244.3 g
Dimensions: Height 11.2 cm

With an old fitted wood stand, possibly zitan, cleverly serving to compensate the leaning posture of the figure. (2)

His serene face with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes below raised arched brows centered by a rectangular urna, further with a broad nose and full lips forming a subtle smile, the hair piled in a tall chignon topped with a jewel behind the foliate tiara.

The presence of the kundika vase crowning the resplendent lotus flower by his left shoulder identifies this idealized young prince as the future Buddha Maitreya. Although equally vital to popular Buddhist practice, standing Maitreya images are relatively rare by comparison to more common bronzes of Avalokiteshvara Padmapani. This most elegant form of a standing bodhisattva maintained its popularity in Nepal until at least the 16th century, being applied to various deities including Manjushri.

十四世紀尼泊爾罕見彌勒佛鎏金銅像
彌勒佛立於圓形蓮座上,邊緣有連珠紋,左手舉於胸前,手持一枝盛開於肩部的蓮花,上有一個淨瓶,右手垂下,同樣手持一朵蓮花。身穿飾有葉狀圖案並在兩側張開的法衣,鑲嵌有綠松石、青金石和珊瑚。面容平靜安詳,雙眼微垂,眉毛之間有白毫,闊鼻,嘴唇豐滿,頭髮盤成一個高高的髮髻,在葉狀頭飾後面鑲嵌著一顆寶石。

來源:比利時布魯塞爾Jacques How Asian Art藝廊;知名德國私人收藏。購於上述藝廊。底部有 Jacques How Asian Art藝廊標籤。Jacques How-Choong多年來一直從事中國和東南亞藝術品的收藏和交易,尤其擅長喜馬拉雅藝術品和法器、稀有的早期佛教藝術品,專注於大理王國雕塑,以及古代藝術品。一些博物館、機構、經銷商和私人收藏。家都是他的客戶。他是布魯塞爾亞洲藝術協會的傑出成員,並且每年都會在巴黎的 Parcours des Mondes 舉辦展覽。
品相:狀況良好,有一些磨損,特別是鍍金方面,有微小的劃痕和輕微的凹痕。鑲嵌物可能在過去更換過。造像傾斜。 底座密封。背面鑲嵌一小塊長方形青銅牌,供祭祀之用。

重量:244.3 克
尺寸:高 11.2 厘米

相配木底座,或爲紫檀,巧妙地彌補了人物的傾斜姿勢。(2)

造像左肩上的蓮花淨瓶,表明他就是未來的彌勒佛。儘管對流行的佛教修行同樣重要,但與更常見的觀世音蓮花生青銅造像相比,站立的彌勒佛像相對較少。此類優雅立像造型至少在十六世紀之前在尼泊爾一直很受歡迎,被應用於包括文殊菩薩在內的各種菩薩。
