TÊTE DE BOUDDHA DIPANKARA EN BOIS SCULPTÉ NÉPAL, VERS XVE SIÈCLETÊTE DE BOUDDHA DIPANKARA EN BOIS SCULPTÉNÉPAL, VERS XVE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205091 65 cm (25 5/8 in.) highA LARGE WOOD HEAD OF DIPANKARA BUDDHA NEPAL, CIRCA 15TH CENTURY 尼泊爾 約十五世紀 木雕然燈佛首Intimately rendered with downcast eyes and a sweet expression, this larger than life-size wooden head likely represents the Buddha Dipankara, as Nepalese images of the Buddha that preceded Shakyamuni were sometimes constructed without a torso. As noted by Mary Slusser, in Patan Museum Highlights, "The Dipankara Buddha is said to predate the historical Buddha in a world cycle long past and to have foretold his coming. He is sometimes equated with Adibuddha, the "original Buddha."Many of its sensuous features, including its pointed nose, tall forehead, and heart-shaped profile, reflect the skilled hand of a Newari craftsman from the Early Malla period (13th to 15th centuries). For references, see two gilt bronze Buddhas, one from the Norton Simon Museum (M.1973.2.S) and another sold at Bonhams, Paris, 14 June 2022, lot 33. Lastly, compare a large gilt bronze of Manjuvara in the Cleveland Museum of Art (1964.370).Provenance:Precious Treasure, UK, 2000s
