拍品描述：
A FINE INLAID GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF SYAMATARA, 15TH-16TH CENTURY
Tibet. Finely cast seated in lalitasana on a double lotus base with beaded rim, her right foot resting on a lotus growing from the base, her left hand raised in vitarka mudra and the right hand lowered in varada mudra, both holding a floral stem coming to full bloom at the shoulder. Both the front and back of her body are richly adorned in beaded jewelry. A sash neatly incised with scrolling vines frames her shoulders.
The face is accentuated with finely painted features and bearing a serene expression marked by heavy-lidded eyes and full lips forming a subtle smile, flanked by elongated lobes suspending circular floral earrings. The hear pulled up into a tall chignon behind the elaborate crown.
The base is sealed with a copper plate incised at the center with a double vajra.
Provenance
: From an old private collection in southern Germany.
Condition
: Very good condition with expected old wear and casting irregularities, rubbing and losses to gilt, few nicks, light scratches, some inlays lost and others replaced. Remnants of ancient pigment. Some of the lacquer gilding in the face has been touched-up over time. Naturally grown, fine patina overall.
Weight: 1.6 kg
Dimensions: Height 18.7 cm
This finely detailed sculpture
depicts the young goddess Syamatara (Green Tara), who is venerated as a liberator, freeing devotees from the chain of birth and rebirth and all the suffering that ensues. In mythological accounts, she emerges from the tears of Avalokiteshvara as he weeps for the suffering of all sentient beings: a testament to her supreme compassion and agency. As such, she is depicted with her right leg outstretched, ready to respond to one's suffering, and her right hand in the gesture of charity.
