A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF KSHITIGARBHA
QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY Himalayan Art Resources item no.61798 50 cm (19 3/4 in.) high
|This figure, previously suggested to be Maitreya, belongs to a group of three near-identical figures that are notable for the simplistic treatment of jewelry, finely detailed braided chignon and exaggerated tribhanga. The other known examples are in the Museum voor Volkenkunde, Rotterdam and the National Museum of Vietnamese History, Hanoi (see Kreiger, Godenbeelden uit Tibet, Amsterdam, 1989, no.20, and Pascals, La Collection Tibetaine, Hanoi, 1935, pl.VII, no.XIII, respectively). Another was sold by Beijing Hanhai, 10 May 2014, lot 2182. The patinated dark brown bronze is common to revival workshops in China and Nepal of the 18th and 19th century. This group of sculptures most likely imitate the 11th-/12th-century Nepalese form of Maitreya, who holds a waterpot instead of the myrobalan fruit (Weldon & Casey Singer, Sculptural Heritage of Tibet, London, 1999, p. 93, pl. 13). Provenance Christie's, New York, 23 June 1983, lot 420 地藏菩薩銅像 清朝,十九世紀 喜馬拉雅藝術資源網61798號高50釐米(19 3/4英吋) 400,000-600,000港元 此尊地藏菩薩與另外已知三尊極為相似的造像同屬一組,原先以為是彌勒佛。此組造像均佩戴簡單大方的珠寶、身體呈三屈式、且髮髻處理極為細緻。另幾尊已知造像藏於鹿特丹的民族學博物館,以及河內的越南歷史國家博物館,(分別見於Hugo Kreijger著錄《Godenbeelden uit Tibet》,阿姆斯特丹,1989年,編號20,及Claude Pascalis著錄,《Collection Tibetaine》,河內,1935年,圖版VII,XIII號)。另一尊於北京瀚海售出,2014年5月10日,拍品2182號。 此種深褐色銅質在十八和十九世紀中原和尼泊爾的復興風格作品中很常見。這組造像很可能參照了十一及十二世紀尼泊爾的彌勒形態,然而彌勒佛手持水壺而非訶子果(Weldon & Casey Singert,《Sculptural Heritage of Tibet》,倫敦,1999年,頁 93,圖版13)。 來源 佳士得,紐約,1983年6月23日,拍品420號
