拍品描述 翻译
AN IMPORTANT BLACK STONE STELE OF PADMAPANI, PALA PERIOD, NORTHEASTERN INDIA, 10TH-12TH CENTURYPadmapani, the lotus bearer, is seated in lalitasana on a double lotus throne with a pendent leg resting on a diminutive padma, his right hand lowered in varada mudra and his left holding a lotus coming to full bloom beside his face. He is wearing a sheer dhoti tied at the waist and his body is richly adorned with beaded jewelry and an upavita (sacred thread).His serene face with almond-shaped eyes below gently arched eyebrows centered by a drop-shaped urna, above his full lips forming a calm smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes, and surmounted by a tall headdress centered to the front by a small figure of the Amitabha Buddha.Below the throne are three devoting figures, one with a bull's head, two worshipers flanking his sides, and seven Buddhas are depicted in the upper section within niches.Provenance: Collection of Guy Maréchal, Belgium, and thence by direct descent to his son Olivier Maréchal. Guy Maréchal (1949-2025) was a Belgian entrepreneur whose unconventional industrial and financial career laid the groundwork for the formation of his Asian art collection. After beginning his professional life as an officer in the Belgian army, he went on to achieve significant success as an independent insurance broker. In the mid-1990s and early 2000s, Maréchal redirected his expertise toward the Asian art market. He sourced works directly in China and India, particularly in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, supplying French auction houses. Following a major health event in 2006, Guy Maréchal withdrew from commercial activity to become an author and public speaker. He published several works, including Rescapé de la Mort, recounting his recovery after a 51-day coma. Olivier Maréchal (b. 1973) is a noted Belgian collector and dealer specializing in the arts of India, Vietnam, and Thailand. He began his career in the mid-1990s, learning from his father who helped him with his first purchases. He later managed Surya Gallery in Brussels, Belgium. Condition: Very good condition with extensive wear, small chips, few losses, tiny nicks, signs of weathering and erosion, and soil encrustations. The surface with a remarkably fine polish, rendering an unctuous, smooth feel overall.Weight: 69.2 kg Dimensions: Height 67 cmAvalokiteshvara (The Allseeing Lord), known variously as Lokeshvara (Lord of the World), Lokanatha (Savior of the World), and Padmapani (The Lotus-bearer), is the pre-eminent bodhisattva of Mahayana Buddhism, which developed in India during the early centuries of the Common Era, and has remained an inspiration to its followers to this day. As a result, he has a wide variety of iconographic forms in both India and all other countries of Asia where his cult spread, as is clear from the surviving archaeological and literary evidence. He was especially venerated in the region of present-day Bihar, West Bengal, and Bangladesh in the Indian subcontinent between the 8th and 12th centuries.The present sculpture is carved from the familiar black stone that occurs in the region of both Bihar and old Bengal (now West Bengal in India and Bangladesh). The material is identified in literature generically as schist but is also known as phylite. The hardness of the stone allows it to be carved confidently into rich surfaces with both exuberant designs and fine details, as becomes abundantly evident in the present work.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related stone stele of Padmapani from Bengal, dated 10th-11th century, in the National Museum of India, New Delhi. Compare a closely related stone stele of Avalokiteshvara seated on Mount Potala, 90.5 cm high, dated to the 11th century, in a private collection and on loan to the Victoria & Albert Museum, and illustrated by Susan L. Huntington, "Compassion in a Mountain Abode: A Pala Period Image of Avalokiteshvara". Orientations, volume 48, number 5, September/October 2017, pp. 78-87, fig. 1.
