China, 16th-17th century. Heavily cast seated in dhyanasana, the right hand raised in karana mudra and the lowered left hand holding an amrita cup. Dressed in finely cast, loose-fitting, elegantly flowing robes opening at the chest revealing beaded and floral jewelry, the cuffs and hems of the robes incised with floral bands against a ring-punched ground.
Published: Galerie Zacke, Vienna, Skulpturen des Buddhismus und Hinduismus, 1985 (described as mid-Ming dynasty).
Provenance: A private collector in Vienna, acquired from Galerie Zacke, Vienna, Austria, in 1985. The reverse with an old label from Galerie Zacke, ‘Foto 285/12’. Thence by descent in the same family.
Condition: In very good condition, commensurate with age, with old wear, casting flaws, signs of weathering, remnants of pigment, small nicks, losses, cracks and minor dents, occasional light scratches. A small section of the tiara has been reattached. The interior with extensive cuprite encrustation, and some to the exterior as well. Fine, naturally grown, dark patina.
Weight: 4,826 g
Dimensions: Height 34 cm
The serene face with heavy-lidded eyes below gently arched eyebrows and full lips forming a benevolent smile, flanked by long earlobes with floral earrings. The finely incised hair elegantly falling over her shoulders and arranged in a high chignon behind the tiara centered by a small figure of Buddha Amitabha.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related bronze figure of Guanyin, also dated to the late Ming dynasty (41.6 cm high), at Sotheby’s London in Chinese Art on 12 May 2021, lot 74, sold for GBP 23,940.
