A GILT COPPER REPOUSSÉ FIGURE OF TARA, NEPAL, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
尼泊爾十八至十九世紀銅鎏金錘鍱度母坐蓮像
Sold for €650
including Buyer's Premium
Finely modeled seated in rajalilasana over a double lotus base with beaded edges, her right hand in varada mudra and her left held in the gesture of elucidation supporting a lotus stalk, wearing an incised diaphanous dhoti secured with a jeweled belt, and adorned with jewelry, her serene face flanked by long earlobes with large lotus blossom earrings, her hair pulled back with a tiara and tied into a high double chignon.
Provenance: From the personal collection of Prince Joseph Clemens of Bavaria, thence by descent within the family. The back inscribed with an old inventory number, ’89’. A copy of an expertise, dated November 1990, confirming the dating above (while leaving the geographical attribution more open, including also the possibility of Tibet or Mongolia), and noting the figure is unusual in its design and form, accompanies this lot. Prince Joseph Clemens of Bavaria (1902-1990) was a member of the Bavarian Royal House of Wittelsbach. He was the first and only son of Prince Alfons of Bavaria and his wife Princess Louise Victoire d' Orléans-Alençon. The prince studied art history and later became one of the leading art historians in Europe.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Some nicks here and there, light scratches, small tears to the back, minor losses, slightly bent and leaning. Overall with a solid, naturally grown patina. The base retaining its original sealing plate with a neatly incised double vajra symbol.
Weight: 570.5 g

來源：巴伐利亞Joseph Clemens王子的個人收藏，在同一家族傳承。背面刻有舊庫存編號“89”。該拍品附有一份日期為 1990 年 11 月的鑒定書副本，確認了上述斷代（同時地理範圍擴大到了西藏或蒙古），並指出該人物的設計和形式不尋常。巴伐利亞的Joseph Clemens王子（1902-1990）是巴伐利亞維特爾斯巴赫王室成員。他是Alfons王子和他的妻子Louise Victoire d' Orléans-Alençon公主的獨子。王子曾學習藝術史，後來成為歐洲知名藝術史學家之一。
