Description

A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA, ZANABAZAR SCHOOLMongolia, 17th-18th century. Heavily cast, seated in dhyanasana with the right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra and the left on the lap, wearing a long-flowing robe, the hems incised with a geometric border, the serene face with downcast eyes painted with black pupils, the red mouth with a gentle smile, flanked by elongated ears, the hair in tight curls surmounted by an ushnisha with globular jewel, the base with an original seal in the form of a double vajra.Provenance: From the collection of a gentleman in London, United Kingdom, who has been collecting Asian works of art for the last 50 years, and thence by descent. Two labels, ‘Antique gilt bronze Buddha on lotus base shrine. 17/18 century’, ‘HC21/04.75’. A lacquered inventory number ‘’ to the base, indicating an earlier museum deaccession. Another inventory number, ‘222’ lacquered to the top of the base.Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear, few nicks, small dents, light scratches, and expected casting flaws.Weight: 1,137 gDimensions: Height 15.8 cmThis heavily cast bronze belongs to the Zanabazar artistic school of Mongolia, founded in the 17th century by Jetsun Lobzong Tenpai Gyaltsen (1635-1723). He was an important Mongolian religious figure and personal guru to the Kangxi Emperor. Zanabazar was at an early age recognized by both the Panchen Lama and Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the Tibetan Lama, Taranatha (1575-1634), and proclaimed the First Jetsundamba, an honorific title. He traveled to Tibet to continue his religious instruction before returning to Mongolia in 1651, bringing fifty sculptors and painters with him in an attempt to establish the Geluk order amongst the Mongols.During his time as a religious leader of the Khalkha Mongols, Zanabazar oversaw a proliferation of Buddhist art in the region. He is especially known for his visualization and design of gilt-bronze sculpture, subsequently carried out by Nepalese bronze casters, which are widely recognized as some of the finest Buddhist gilt-bronze sculptures created.Zanabazar bronze sculptures exhibit a cohesive style testament to the vision of the great leader, characterized by richly gilt surfaces overall, finely modeled and smoothly sloping contours with embellishments limited to borders, full figures standing or seated on an elevated double-lotus base, and a minimalist aesthetic that endows the figures with a sense of stability.Auction resultparison:Type: RelatedAuction: London, 14 May 2014, lot 209Price: GBP 20,000 or approx.EUR 31,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writingDescription: A fine gilt-bronze figure of Buddha, Zanabazar School, 17th centuryExpert remark:pare the related pose, facial expression, lotus base, and gilding.
