A GILT-COPPER REPOUSSé RITUAL MASK OF THE MAHASIDDHA NAGARJUNA, 18TH-19TH CENTURY

Tibet. Well modeled with a wrathful expression, large bulging eyes below bushy eyebrows, a wide nose above an open mouth revealing a set of teeth framed by a moustache and short curly beard, the face flanked by pierced ears suspending circular earrings with turquoise inlays and surmounted by a hood formed by five snakes and with a lotus-bud shaped finial.

Provenance: French trade. Acquired from a private estate.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, the nose with dents, nicks, scratches, and rubbing to the gilt, remnants of red pigments, manufacturing flaws, and minor malachite encrustations. The textile with wear, loose threads, and stains.

Weight: 859 g
Dimensions: Height 40.5 cm

The interior with an embroidered silk padding decorated with flowers and dragons, dating from the same period, and with a leather strap.

The five-hooded naga above his head identifies the subject as Nagarjuna, an important Indian philosopher who is considered a Mahasiddha, a ‘great perfected one’ whose superior wisdom endows him with extraordinary powers. Nagarjuna is widely considered to be the founder of the Madhyamaka school of Buddhist philosophy and a defender of the Mahayana movement. His Mulamadhyamakakarika is the most important text on the Madhyamaka philosophy of emptiness, inspiring a large number of commentaries in Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, Korean, and Japanese, and continues to be studied today.
