乾隆鎏金黃財神銅像
Sold for €7,150

China, 1736-1795. Seated in lalitasana on a lotus base with a beaded rim, his right foot resting on a conch supported by a vessel, his right hand offering a bijapuraka fruit, in his left a mongoose, the pot-bellied figure wearing a dhoti finely incised with foliate decorations, a billowing scarf around his arms, adorned in elaborate jewelry, his head surmounted by a five-leaf crown set in front of a high chignon, his wrathful face with protruding eyes, framed by a beard, and flanked by elongated earlobes.
Provenance: From an old Croatian private collection and thence by descent.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few nicks, and light scratches. The base sealed.
Weight: 562.8 g

Primarily known as the God of Wealth, Jambhala is one of the most popularly worshipped deities in Tibetan Buddhism, propitiated in order to avoid the mundane distractions of ensuring sustenance so that practitioners can focus on their spiritual training. Here, a skilled craftsman has represented the deity in his full, corpulent glory, symbolic of the abundance Jambhala is able to grant.
