A THANGKA OF SIDDHA LAKSHMI, 17TH-18TH CENTURY
十七至十八世紀吉祥天女唐卡
Sold for €3,380
including Buyer's Premium
Nepal. Distemper and gold on cloth. The ten-headed, twenty-two-armed goddess standing in a dancing pose atop a prostrate blue-skinned Mahakala on a lotus base supported by five semi-wrathful goddesses. Her two left hands are holding a kapala and ghanta, while one right hand holds a khatvanga, the other hands radiating around her holding numerous weapons and attributes. She is surrounded by a floral and foliate mandorla against a blue foliate ground.
Provenance: German private collection.
Condition: Good condition with some wear, soiling, staining, creases, small losses, slightly frayed edges.
Dimensions: Size 65 x 47 cm
The upper heads are flanked by the sun and moon, which are depicted as heads as well. The upper register with two red-skinned wrathful deities, one of whom has severed their own head, holding it aloft as blood gushes from his neck, trampling on an amorous couple and flanked by smaller deities.
The fierce Siddha Lakshmi, a wrathful manifestation of the Hindu goddess Durga, was the protecting and guiding goddess of the Malla kings, who ruled Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley from the thirteenth through the eighteenth century. Her name opens with the Sanskrit term ‘siddha’, which indicates that she has mastered the art of accomplishment, and as such, she is appealed to by followers for the successful completion of projects.
Literature comparison:
Compare a related Nepalese thangka depicting Siddhi Lakshmi, dated by inscription to 1694, in the collection of the Rubin Museum of Art, object number C2006.42.1.
十七至十八世紀吉祥天女唐卡
尼泊爾，布面膠畫。唐卡藍地，女神十頭二十二臂，以舞姿站立，大黑天俯伏在下，蓮座上由五位半忿怒女神支撐。她的左手分別拿著一個嘎巴啦碗和銅鈴，而一隻右手拿著一個天杖，其他手分別拿著法器。她周圍環繞著曼陀羅，藍靠在藍色的葉狀地面上。
來源：德國私人收藏。
品相：狀況良好，有一些磨損、污漬、染色、摺痕、少量缺失、邊緣輕微磨損。
尺寸：65 x 47 厘米
最頂端的頭兩側是太陽和月亮，它們也被描繪成頭。 上方是兩個紅皮膚的忿怒本尊，其中一個砍下了自己的頭顱並高舉著著，鮮血從他的脖子上噴湧而出，脚踩一對夫婦身上。
兇猛的 Siddha Lakshmi 是印度教女神杜爾迦的憤怒表現，是十三至十八世紀統治尼泊爾加德滿都谷地的馬拉國王的保護和引導女神。她的名字以梵文“siddha”開頭，這表明她已經掌握了成就的藝術，因此吸引了衆多追隨者。
