拍品描述 翻译
A COWRIE SHELL AND BRASS 'MANDALA' DODCHA (BELT ORNAMENT), EARLY 20TH CENTURYThis lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserveNorth India, Ladakh. Consisting of four strands, two with thirty-six cowrie shells the other two with thirty-six, all strung vertically and terminating in brass bells. The strands are tied to three horizontal brass fittings, which are connected to a round brass medallion with an openwork and finely incised mandala pattern.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. Few nicks, minuscule dents, light scratches, and loose threads. The shells with natural imperfections and soiling.Weight: 237 g Dimensions: Length 44.8 cmLadakh, known as the "Land of High Passes," is a stunning region in northern India with breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The people of Ladakh, resilient and warm, maintain deep-rooted traditions influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and Islam.Traditionally worn around the waist and suspended from a silk belt by Ladakhi women, the dodcha functioned as both personal adornment and a marker of identity and status. The combination of cowrie shells, long associated with fertility, prosperity, and protection, and brass reflects the material culture and symbolic language of Ladakhi dress and ornament.There is also a likely historical relationship between dodcha and early tokcha, particularly those thought to have originated as belt fittings or ornaments. Many tokchas are believed to have come from Tibet, the Eurasian Steppes, Central Asia, or Persia, entering Tibet through Silk Road trade networks, where they were reused as personal ornaments or talismans. Some were later purpose-made as amulets, which explains the close visual similarities seen among genuine examples, including early mandala-form tokchas such as those sold by Michael Backman. Despite these practical origins, traditional belief held that tokchas were not made by human hands and were instead thought to have fallen from the sky, imbuing them with powerful protective and mystical significance.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related dodcha, 43.6 and 68.5 cm (length), in the British Museum, registration number As1981,17.51 and As1981,17.50. Compare a related, early Mandala tokcha, dated to the 13th century, sold at Michael Backman, London, no. 9223.
