拍品描述
? A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF GUANYIN, PROBABLY TANG DYNASTY

China, 618-907 or later. The deity seated in rajalilasana, one hand resting on her leg while the other is raised to her shoulder, her head leaning slightly to the side in a pensive expression. Dressed in pleated long flowing robes pooling voluminously at her feet and adorned with fine jewelry. Her serene face with heavy-lidded downcast eyes and bow-shaped lips, all below thick locks pulled into a high chignon centered by a diminutive Buddha Amitabha.

Provenance: Swiss private collection. A private collection in New York, USA, acquired from the above.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Wear and casting flaws. Signs of weathering and erosion, minor losses, small nicks and dents, and light scratches. Extensive wear to gilt.

Weight: 776.5 g
Dimensions: Height 15.8 cm

Expert’s note: The present figure exhibits clear characteristics and stylistic features of the Tang dynasty but cannot be firmly dated to the period for lack of closely comparable sculptures. The bronze does however show unmistakable signs of age, with distinctive wear and casting flaws as well as an inimitable patina indicating it was made at least five hundred years ago.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related gilt bronze figure of Guanyin dated to the Tang dynasty, 8th century, 27.3 cm high, in the St. Louis Art Museum, object number 36:1933.



13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer’s premium – only for buyers within the EU.
