A WOOD SHRINE TO BHAIRAVA
NEPAL, 17TH/18TH CENTURYWith remains of polychromy.Himalayan Art Resources item no.61760 53 cm (20 7/8 in.) high
|This rare shrine depicts the awesome face of Bhairava, the wrathful manifestation of the Hindu god Shiva, and conceptual antecedent to Vajrayana Buddhism's Mahakalas. More common are the standalone 'Bhairava masks' of the Indrajatra festival, and shrines reproducing his full form (e.g. Bonhams, New York, 19 March 2018, lot 3040, and 13 September 2011, lot 1008; Pal, Art of Nepal, Los Angeles, 1985, p.130, no.S58; respectively). But here, Bhairava's two sons, Ganesha and Kumara, add auspiciousness, while staunch lions echo his striking countenance. ProvenancePrivate Florida Collection, acquired in Nepal, 1967木雕陪臚神龕 尼泊爾,十七/十八世紀表面可見殘留彩漆。 喜馬拉雅藝術資源網61760號 高53釐米(20 7/8英吋) 80,000-120,000港元 此座稀有的神龕中央刻劃了氣勢威嚴的陪臚頭像。陪臚為印度教濕婆的忿怒化現,亦是密宗教派的大黑天的概念先行。更常見的作品形式為尼泊爾因陀羅節使用的陪臚面具,以及刻劃陪臚全身像的神龕(分別見邦瀚斯紐約,2018年3月19日拍賣中的拍品3040號;2011年9月13日拍賣中的拍品1008號;以及Pal,《Art of Nepal》,洛杉磯,1985年,頁130,S58號)。此作品還塑造了陪臚的雙子象神與室建陀。凶猛的獅子亦與陪臚令人畏懼的形象互相襯托。 來源 佛羅里達私人收藏,於1967年購自尼泊爾
