Lot details

Western Tibet, 14th-15th century. Finely cast with a sash around his torso and adorned with beaded jewelry, the necklace and an earring inlaid with turquoise glass paste. The serene face with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes below gently arched eyebrows centered by a gilt urna, flanked by elongated earlobes, the hair in fine rows surmounted by a crown centered by a small image of Buddha Amitabha.

Provenance: Property of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. The private museum was founded by Peter Hardt, a notable German expert, collector and dealer for Asian art. During his long career, which spanned more than 35 years, Hardt built a substantial collection that is now housed in the museum.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear and losses. Small nicks, light scratches, some dents and cracks. Parts of the crown are bent. The figure was once parcel-gilt, with only minute traces of the gilding remaining in some recesses. Fine, naturally grown, dark patina. Remnants of ancient pigment.

Weight: 507.7 g (excl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 16.5 cm (excl. stand) and 19.5 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on a modern metal stand. (2)

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related but considerably larger (34 cm high) Western Tibetan bronze bust of a bodhisattva, also dated 14th-15th century, at Christie’s New York in Indian and Southeast Asian Art on 21 September 2007, lot 119, sold for USD 8,750.
