including Buyer's Premium
China, ca. 13th century. Finely woven in shades of blue, green, ochre, and white, the panel is decorated with five rows of Buddhas divided by scrolling clouds. Each figure is backed by a halo and seated in dhyanasana on a lotus throne with the hands lowered in dhyana mudra.
Provenance: From the private collection of Edvin Csabai, one of the world’s best marathon athletes in canoeing who has won the world champion title 17 times.
Expert Authentication: An expertise written and signed by Rolf Jasper, dated 22nd November 2004, confirming the dating and attribution above, accompanies this lot. Rolf Jasper (d. 2006) was a noted scholar, expert and dealer of ancient textiles, as well as antique rugs and carpets in Frankfurt, Germany.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, soiling, minor tears to edges, staining. Mounted and framed behind glass.
Dimensions: Panel size 65.5 x 36 cm, Size incl. frame 83 x 54 cm
This pattern of the ‘Thousand Buddhas’ is seen on a group of silk textiles of Liao through Ming date. It was also prominent in early Buddhist cave paintings found along the Silk Road, and can be seen preserved in cave sites such as Dunhuang. It was likely these paintings that provided the inspiration for the present group of textiles.
Literature comparison: See B. Gray, Buddhist Cave Paintings at Tun-Huang, Chicago, 1959, pl. 7, for a detail of a painting of 'The Thousand Buddhas' above a frieze of 'The Seven Buddhas of the Past', dated circa 500 and located in Cave 257 at Dunhuang. Compare a silk panel of later Ming date illustrated by J. Simcox, Chinese Textiles, Spink & Son, London, 1994, no. 19.
Auction result comparison: Compare a related ‘Thousand Buddhas’ silk panel, 67.3 by 32.4 cm, dated to the Ming dynasty, at Christie’s New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 21 March 2014, lot 2354, sold for USD 15,000.
宋末至元時期黃地織千佛圖
中國，約十三世紀。佛呈坐姿，縱向成行，橫向成排，佛像均低肉髻，面相豐圓，五官清晰，後有光背，雙手置於腹前，結跏趺坐蓮座上，著通肩袈裟，顔色不一，衣紋簡潔。

專家鑒定: 隨附一份Rolf Jasper 2004年11月22日出具的鑒定，證實了以上的斷代和來源。Rolf Jasper (d. 2006) 是德國法蘭克福著名學者，以及古代紡織品以及古董地毯和地毯的專家和經銷商。
品相：狀況良好，與年齡相稱。 廣泛磨損、缺損、污漬、邊緣輕微撕裂、染色。裝框並安裝在玻璃後面。
尺寸：掛幅65.5 x 36 厘米，總 83 x 54 厘米
“千佛像” 出現在遼至明代的織品上。絲綢之路的早期石窟壁畫中也可見到類似的千佛崖，在敦煌等莫高窟中也可以看到，很可能是這些畫作為目前的這組紡織品提供了靈感。
文獻比較: 見B. Gray, Buddhist Cave Paintings at Tun-Huang, 芝加哥, 1959年, 圖 7, 可見千佛圖細節；關於千佛像的細節也可在敦煌257窟中見到；比較一件明末的織品，見 J. Simcox, Chinese Textiles, Spink & Son, 倫敦1994年，19號。
