拍品描述 翻译
Seated in dhyanasana on a separately cast lotus base with a beaded rim, the primary right hand held in vitarka mudra and the left supporting a vase above her lap, the secondary arms raised to the shoulders and held in karana mudra. Dressed in a dhoti and adorned with various jewelry and flowing sashes draped over the elbows, the face with heavy-lidded eyes centered by a raised urna and flanked by large foliate earrings, the hair piled into a chignon capped with a finial and locks escaping over his shoulders, all backed by a separately cast flaming nimbus and aureole.The base sealed with a gilt-copper plate incised with a double vajra.The back of the base is neatly incised with a lengthy Nepalese inscription.Provenance: Ralph M. Chait Galleries, New York, United States. A copy of the original description from Ralph M. Chait Galleries, number 14312, confirming the dating above, accompanies the lot. Ralph M. Chait Galleries is the oldest specialist gallery in the United States in the field of fine Chinese porcelain and works of art. The firm was founded in 1910 by Ralph M. Chait at the age of 18, who ran the business for over six decades and became one of the foremost dealers in Chinese art in the United States, counting among his clients some of the most prominent collectors in the field, including John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and Sir Percival David. Over the years, the gallery has sold pieces to most major American museums and also worked with many important architects, decorators, and designers. The firm continues to be run by the third generation of the Chait family.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities. Rubbing to gilt, few tiny nicks, minuscule dents, and surface scratches, remnants of pigment, and two attributes possibly lost.Weight: 1,256 g Dimensions: Height 17 cmExpert's note: While Ralph M. Chait Galleries described the present lot as Cunda, this attribution does not align with the traditional iconography of the deity, who in her four-armed form is typically depicted holding a bowl in her primary hands while the raised right hand is in varada mudra and the left hand clasps a lotus containing the Prajnaparamita text. Instead, we believe this bronze depicts the goddess Prajnaparamita herself, who embodies the concept of transcendent wisdom and is often revered in Nepal. As a central figure in the Vajrayana tradition, Prajnaparamita is venerated for her ability to guide practitioners toward enlightenment by overcoming ignorance and delusion, which aligns with her prominent role in Nepal's Buddhist iconography and rituals.Literature comparison:Compare a related, earlier, gilt bronze figure of the four-armed Prajnaparamita, Tibet, dated to the15th-16th century, 20 cm high, illustrated by Jeff Watt on Himalayan Art Resources, item no. 4907. See a closely related figure of the six-armed Vasudhara, formerly in the collection of James and Marilynn Alsdorf, illustrated by Jeff Watt on Himalayan Art Resources, item no. 59617.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 20 March 2012, lot 111Price: USD 30,000 or approx.
