拍品描述：
A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF AVALOKITESHVARA PADMAPANI, WESTERN TIBET, 14TH-15TH CENTURY
Standing in a flexed pose on a circular, fully-conceived lotus pedestal, with his left hand in varada mudra, his right holding the stem of a fecund lotus in bloom by his shoulder. Wearing a diaphanous dhoti with a tassel falling between the legs and a long sash framing the legs, and adorned with various jewelry and abundant beaded ropes lining the hems and his profile. His uplifting expression with round cheeks and downcast eyes flanked by the fan-shaped side ribbons of his crown and surmounted by the neatly tied jatamukata topped by a jewel. The interior of the base lacquered in red.
Provenance
: Galerie Koller, Zurich, 8 June 1974, lot 108. A private collection in Hessen, Germany, acquired from the above and thence by descent.
Condition
: Very good condition with minor wear, casting irregularities, few nicks, light scratches, few small dents, remnants of ancient blue and red pigments, as well as gilding, a minuscule old fill at the left side of the chest, and a tiny soldering mark to the tip of the lotus bud. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina.
Weight: 481 g
Dimensions: Height 19.5 cm
Literature comparison:
The direct link to the Indian Pala style copied by this well-cast bodhisattva is evident when compared to a Padmapani in the Norton Simon Museum, accession number F.1972.34.1.S. Both stand in a flexed pose from the waist with legs straight and together, have curving torsos, narrow eyes and well-defined chignons rising from the back of the head. The present sculpture is stripped down of the embellishments and inlays and is adorned with simple beaded jewelry.
