銅錯銀索南·倫杜普
Sold for €3,792
including Buyer's Premium
Tibet, 16th-17th century. Seated in dhyanasana atop a lotus base with beaded rims, holding a pearl in his right hand. His jacket, robe, and cape all with neatly incised borders. The serene face with silver-inlaid almond-shaped eyes below gently arched eyebrows and full lips forming a benevolent smile.
Provenance: From an ancient French private estate, where the statue was originally fitted as the base for a lamp.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing flaws, small nicks here and there, occasional light scratches. The attribute held in his left hand is lost. The base with a replaced seal plate from the 20th century. The back of the lotus base with a neatly drilled hole of 11 mm diameter.
Weight: 562 g
Dimensions: Height 15 cm
Sonam Lhundrup (c. 1441-1532), Mustang's celebrated Khencen ('Great Abbot'), was fully ordained within the Sakya order at the precocious age of 22 and appointed the abbot of the royal monastery of the Kingdom of Lo shortly after.
The kingdom of Lo prospered from the salt trade during Sonam Lhundrup's lifetime, giving rise to fine portraits of the celebrated teacher in this brassy, non-gilded style favored throughout Mustang, Tsang, and Western Tibet. Unlike most of Sonam Lhundrup's more senior portraits, here he is depicted as a young teacher of scripture.
Auction result comparison: Compare a related but earlier bronze figure of Sonam Lhundrup, dated 15th century, at Christie’s New York in Indian and Southeast Asian Art on 22 March 2011, lot 339, sold for USD 25,000.
