拍品描述
A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF A LAMA ON A STEPPED THRONE, TIBET, 13TH - 14TH CENTURY
Finely cast, the lama sits atop a stepped pedestal with rosettes, floral decorations, and two Buddhist lions beneath an exquisite, beaded double-lotus throne. The patchwork robes of the lama are exceptionally fine, the hems decorated with minuscule and extremely fine beadwork all over. He is seated in vajraparyankasana, his right hand extended in bhumisparsha mudra and his left held in samadhi mudra, his face set with a meditative expression and a distinct widow’s peak. The base bears the double vajra symbol.

Provenance: From a German private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear and casting irregularities, minor rubbing to the gilding, occasional light scratches, and small dents. The back of the base with a rectangular aperture for a mandorla, which is lost. The base is sealed.

Weight: 1,466 g
Dimensions: Height 15.8 cm

The present bronze likely depicts an important early lama from a period when Buddhism was flourishing and expanding in Tibet. The sculpture's combination of a lotus pedestal and a waisted plinth underneath the lama was a popular device in Central Tibet between the 13th and 15th centuries. It was particularly used by the Kagyu order and was recreated in the sculptures of the Densatil Monastery.

Literature comparison:
Compare U. von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, volume 2, page 1186, number 320A. Also compare a related bronze figure of a lama seated on a stepped pedestal, 14.3 cm high, dated to the 13th century, in Tsuglakang Temple, Lhasa, illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources, item no. 57364.
