著录:出版:王伊悠, , 《 Arts of Asia》, 2011年9-10月, 图版编号12 拍品描述:拍品专文:This finely carved figure of a bodhisattva is most unusual in the depiction of the ribbons that flutter back onto the mandorla. They are partially undercut so that a portion of the ribbons is freestanding. Fluttering, free-standing ribbons can also be seen on the bust of a bodhisattva in the collection of E. Schlieper, Berlin, included in the Exhibition of Chinese Art, Berlin, 1929, no. 112. This fragment of a figure from Gongxian which measures 52cm. is dated Northern Wei, 6th century, and the carving of the face, the hair and the crown are very similar to that of the present figure. Another smaller figure of a bodhisattva with scarves looped through a disc and wearing a crown with ribbons rippling back onto a mandorla, in the Imperial Academy of Art, Tokyo, is illustrated by O. Sirén, Chinese Sculpture, vol. I, 1998 ed., vol. I, pl. 131A. It is dated Northern Wei and identified as being from Shaanxi province. Also, illustrated ibid., pl. 135, is a seated figure (65 cm.) with a very similar face and long rippling ribbons which trail onto the mandorla, in the Hayasaki Collection, Tokyo. With its narrow head, sloping eyes, and folded robes, the figure also bears stylistic similarities with figures of Buddha found at the Yungang Buddhist grottos, which date to the 5th century. Compare the figure of seated Buddha from Yungang in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrated by D. Leidy and D. Strahan, Wisdom Embodied:Chinese Buddhist and Daoist Sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2010, pp. 53-54, no. 3b. The Metropolitan Museum of Art figure is shown wearing a similar garment comprising a long thin shawl that crosses at the waist with undergarments beneath it. A Northern Wei granite head of a bodhisattva, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, shown wearing an elaborate lotus crown similar to that of the present figure, is illustrated by d'Argence, Chinese, Korean and Japanese Sculpture in the Avery Brundage Collection, Tokyo, 1974, pp. 76-77, no. 24. 来源:卢芹斋, 巴黎, 1928年前后 戴润斋, 纽约, 纽约, 1965年4月30日 阿瑟·姆·赛克勒 (1913-1987年) 珍藏 艾莎·赛克勒 (1913-2000年) 珍藏 阿瑟·姆·赛克勒基金会, 1997年
