A RARE AND IMPORTANT WOOD AND SILVER REPOUSSé SUTRA COVER AND MANUSCRIPT, 18TH-19TH CENTURYThis lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserveTibet. Comprising a matching top and bottom cover made of wood, with the outward-facing sides entirely clad in repoussé silver as well as thirty-two sheets of paper. The front depicts three Buddhas, all seated in dhyanasana on a lotus base; between them are two lions, all set against scrolling foliage and encircled by beaded bands and a lotus band. The back shows a kalachakra ideogram on a lotus base, flanked by the Eight Buddhist Emblems, all set before further scrolling leaves.Inscription: The thirty-three sheets of paper inscribed with Uchen Tibetan script.Provenance: Collection of Philippe Icher (b. 1956), French ceramic artist and collector, whose works are held in numerous renowned collections throughout Europe. His collection, assembled over several decades during his travels across Asia, includes Himalayan, Tibetan, and Nepalese artifacts that have profoundly inspired his artistic practice.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing flaws. Small nicks, minuscule dents, tarnish to silver and remnants of gilt. The sheets with foxing.Weight: 1,473 g Dimensions: Height 9.5 cm, Length 38.3 cmThe vast majority of Tibetan manuscript covers are made of wood, fashioned in a large horizontal format to protect Buddhist texts. Many were elaborately carved and gilded, while a smaller number were adorned with hammered copper repoussé designs. These examples are especially prized, with most surviving specimens dating to the 12th-14th centuries (see one sold at Bonhams New York, 19 March 2025, lot 310, USD 165,600), when texts from eastern India were actively copied and transmitted to Tibet, shaping a developing Buddhist doctrinal landscape. Both the format and subject matter of Tibetan manuscripts reflect this historical connection to eastern Indian traditions, while their highly ornate style demonstrates Newari influence in metalworking and manuscript painting.It is possible that the covers are from the more Tibetan parts of Nepal, such as Mustang. Indeed, Matthiessen (1996, p. 136) illustrates some covers, partly clad in partly-gilded silver with repoussé work that is not unlike that shown on the covers here. Matthiessen says that the Mustang covers were commissioned in the 15th century and that originally there were 108 volumes which were kept in the Raja of Mustang's private chapel in Lo Monthang but that over the centuries many disappeared. It is likely that replacements were commissioned over the centuries. Other examples of Himalayan and Mongolian wooden manuscript covers with part or full exterior silver cladding are illustrated in Pal (2001, p. 193), Tsultem (1987, ill. 58), and Topsfield (2013, 84). Heller (2000, p. 63) illustrates a book cover clad in gilded copper repoussed with the five Cosmic Buddhas and attributed to 11th-12th century Nepal, probably for a Tibetan patron, and Pal (1990, p. 115) illustrates a cover covered in gilded bronze featuring the five Cosmic Buddhas, inlaid with stones, and attributed to around 1600.Literature comparison:Compare a related wood and parcel-gilt silver repoussé book cover, Tibet, dated 18th-19th century, 45.5 cm (long), sold at Michael Backman, London, no. 3653.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams Sydney, 1 May 2007, lot 198 Price: AUD 9,600 or approx.
