拍品描述 翻译
A GRAY SCHIST FIGURE OF MAITREYA, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARAKushan period, circa 3rd century. Seated on a raised latticed wicker throne, the hands resting in dhyana mudra and holding the elixir of life contained within the kundika acutely modeled in the shape of a downturned lotus bud, wearing a sanghati pooling elegantly in U-shaped folds at his ankles and spilling over the edge of the base. The deity is adorned with various necklaces and talismanic amulets, his mustachioed face with aquiline nose and steadfast gaze from heavy-lidded eyes, flanked by pendant earrings, his wavy curls pulled up into a double topknot framed by a floral beaded headband.Provenance: Collection of Yvette Starck, Luxembourg, and thence by descent to Jacques Grosbusch, Luxembourg. A copy of a provenance statement, written and signed by Jacques Grosbusch, dated 31 July 2024, and confirming the above, accompanies this lot.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, old repairs, chips, nicks, encrustations, and signs of weathering and erosion. Few fissures and structural cracks, all as expected. Weight: 36.3 kgDimensions: Height 52.5 cm (excl. stand), 54 cm (incl. stand)With a broad muscular torso, strong hands, and ornate stylized folds, this sculpture exhibits the power and authority of Maitreya, believed to reside in Tushita heaven until the time comes when Shakyamuni is no longer remembered and the future Buddha will need to be reborn.The present lot represents the rise in popularity of the worship of Maitreya at Gandhara and further afield. He is identified here by the remarkably detailed water vessel (kundika) dangling from his fingers by the spout. The most elaborate of these vessels, in connection with Gandharan reliquaries, mimic the bulbous shapes of lotuses or fruits. As Mahayana Buddhism spread from Gandhara to China, images of Maitreya became the focal point of a widespread cult, the idea of a messianic savior appealing to many living under the chaotic political climate and civil unrest of the Six Dynasties Period following the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty in the beginning of the 3rd century - the time around which this sculpture was made. The link between the art of Gandhara and early Buddha images in China is clearly demonstrated through a comparison of the facial features and robes between the present lot and a gilt bronze Buddha held in the Harvard Art Museums (1943.53.80.A) believed to be the earliest devotional Buddhist image made in China.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related figure of Maitreya, 40.9 cm high, dated to the 2nd century, in the Indian Museum, Kolkata.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Bonhams New York, 18 September 2013, lot 60Price: USD 80,500 or approx. EUR 104,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A schist figure of Maitreya, Ancient region of Gandhara, circa 3rd centuryExpert remark: Compare the closely related modeling and manner of carving with similar pose, kundika, face, hairband, and throne. Note the different size (106.6 cm).
