Description

A BRONZE FIGURE OF THE MEDICINE BUDDHA (BHAISAJYAGURU), CENTRAL JAVANESE PERIOD, 9TH-10TH CENTURY

Indonesia. Seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base raised on a wide cushion, his right hand lowered in varada mudra and the left resting above his lap holding a large myrobalan fruit, clad in a closely fitting uttarasanga which covers the left shoulder and crosses the chest diagonally, culminating in a stylized hem but leaving the right shoulder and right arm bare, falling all the way down so that the antaravasaka is completely covered. The face with a serene expression, finely modeled with downcast eyes and sinuous lids below gently arched brows centered by a raised urna, an aquiline nose above bow-shaped lips, and the hair in fine tight curls over the prominent ushnisha, backed by a looped halo.

Provenance: From the private collection of Darwin Freeman, collected between 1968 and 1971, and thence by descent within the same family. Born 1946 in Idaho, United States, Darwin Freeman was a member of the armed forces and later became an avid collector. He met his wife in the mid-1960s, and the pair later relocated to her hometown of Innsbruck, Austria. In 1967, Freeman was drafted into the US Army and served in Germany and Thailand. While he was stationed at the Embassy in Bangkok, between 1969 and 1971, he actively began engaging in the exploration and collection of ancient bronzes and other works of art. Upon completing his duty, Freeman arranged for his collection to be shipped to Austria, where it remained in storage until this day.
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear, casting irregularities, few small losses, signs of burial and traces of weathering, encrustations. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations.

Weight: 770.1 g
Dimensions: Height 14 cm

Bhaishajyaguru, or the Buddha of Medicine and Healing can be identified by the myrobalan fruit held in the left hand. He is considered a healer who alleviates suffering and offers solace to the afflicted through the medicine of his teachings. The eponymous Bhaishajyaguruvaiduryaprabharaja Sutra, generally called the Medicine Buddha Sutra in English, describes Bhaishajyaguru as a bodhisattva who made twelve great vows. On achieving full enlightenment, he became the Buddha of the Eastern Pure Land of Vaiduryanirbhasa, or ‘Pure Lapis Lazuli.’ There, he is attended by two bodhisattva symbolizing the light of the sun and of the moon, respectively: Suryaprabha (Chinese, Riguang Bianzhao Pusa) and Chandraprabha (Chinese, Yueguang Bianzhao Pusa).
