拍品描述 翻译
China, 618-907. The Bodhisattva of Compassion is finely cast standing in tribhangha on a lotus pedestal above a pierced rectangular base. The left arm is raised with the hand holding a willow branch, while the pendent right hand holds an ambrosia bottle. Dressed in a neatly incised flowing dhoti and a long billowing shawl around the shoulders, the hair fashioned in a high chignon, backed by a flaming openwork mandorla surmounted by a diminutive Buddha Amitabha.Provenance: British trade. Acquired from a house in Oxford, United Kingdom. Condition: Good condition with significant ancient wear, two small fissures to the mandorla, rubbing to the gilt, nicks, scratches, and small dents. The gilt quite well-preserved overall. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown patina with areas of malachite encrustation. Weight: 265 gDimensions: Height 20 cmBuddhism received support at almost all levels of society during the first 150 years of the Tang dynasty; however, many temples and artworks created during this period were destroyed during the Buddhist persecutions of the late Tang. Surviving paintings, architecture, and sculpture made of perishable materials are rare, but some traces can be found in Japan, where more artwork and structures of the same period have survived. Small-scale gilded bronze objects also allow valuable insight into the magnificence of this sculptural tradition. It is very rare for these figures to retain their original mandorla, and accompanying the current figure is a particularly elaborate example. The contours of the slender body are well defined, characteristic of Buddhist sculpture in the high Tang dynasty. The curving form of the deity's torso achieves an almost dancelike movement. This highly recognizable stylistic element of the swayed-hip posture became especially popular during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong (712-756), when sculptures in general became more dynamic in their design.Avalokiteshvara, whose name in Chinese (Guanyin) means 'one who observes or hears the pleas of devotees', is the most represented of all Buddhist figures in Chinese art. Guanyin has been worshiped in many ways, including as one of the attendants to Amitabha, the Buddha of the Western Paradise. Chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra lists his thirty-three forms and relates his ability to rescue believers from peril. Its vivid descriptions of Guanyin's transformations - male to female, old to young - were an important source for Tang artists and those of later eras. To attract more devotees, Chinese artists continuously applied changing ideas of gender and physical beauty to Guanyin sculptures. Willow Guanyin was a very popular manifestation during the Tang dynasty and probably gained prominence after the early 8th century. An early example of this iconography is the mural painting of the Willow Guanyin on the west wall in Cave 320 of Dunhuang, in which the deity is depicted holding a willow branch in the right hand, and an ambrosia bottle in the left, just like the present figure.Literature comparison: Compare a related larger gilt-bronze figure of Guanyin, dated to the Tang dynasty, 33 cm high, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, object number B60B334.
