A LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF VAJRAVARAHI, NEPAL, 18TH CENTURYFinely cast dancing atop a prostrate figure on a beaded lotus base, wielding a kartika with a vajra finial in her right hand and a kapala in her left. The wrathful deity is dressed in a minutely beaded and festooned apron, a billowing scarf, a garland of nineteen severed heads, and numerous necklaces, armlets, and bracelets. The face is expressively delineated with red-painted brows, sharp fangs, and an urna, the sow's head emerging from behind her right ear, the head surmounted by a skull tiara.The base is sealed and possibly retains sacred contents, the plate is engraved with a double-vajra.Provenance: From a private collection in London, United Kingdom.Condition: Good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities. The garland with a small loss, the celestial scarf with minor cracks, losses, and associated old repairs. Light warping and small dents, surface scratches, rubbing and minor losses to gilt, remnants of ancient pigment. Overall displaying exceptionally well.Weight: 4.2 kgDimensions: Height 34.5 cmThis intricate piece represents Vajravarahi, one of the most popular female tantric deities in Tibetan Buddhism. In the Nyingma school she is the consort of Hayagriva, the wrathful form of Avalokiteshvara, and most classically portrayed on one foot in a dynamic dancing position. In this representation, she stands atop a lotus base, holding a kapala (skull cup) in her right hand and a kartika (chopper) in her left, wearing a festooned belt and adorned with beaded necklaces and a garland of severed heads. On her face, she expresses a wrathful countenance surmounted by a skull tiara.Expert's note on metallurgy:XRF readings identified a copper alloy composed primarily of Cu with minor Zn (~4%), indicating a low-zinc brass. Such copper-zinc alloys are commonly encountered in historical Himalayan metalwork. Two measurements were taken: one on the bronze surface and one on a gilded area. While the principal alloy elements remain consistent, lighter elements such as Si and Fe appear in small amounts on the untreated surface and are reduced on the gilded area, indicating minor surface contamination associated with patina. The gilded area shows a strong Au signal together with detectable Hg, consistent with traditional mercury amalgam gilding. Overall, the alloy composition and surface characteristics are consistent with gilt copper alloy figures commonly encountered in 18th-century Himalayan metalwork.Literature comparison:Compare a near-identical Nepalese parcel-gilt copper figure of Vajravarahi, dated to the 18th century, in the Honolulu Museum of Art. Compare a closely related Tibetan parcel-gilt copper figure of Vajravarahi, dated 1550-1650, 28 cm high, illustrated by Ulrich von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, 1981, p. 444, no. 120E. Compare a related Tibetan gilt-bronze figure of Vajravarahi, dated to the 15th century, 27.5 cm high, in the Musée Guimet, accession number MA 13459. Compare a related Tibetan smaller copper alloy figure of Vajravarahi, 16.5 cm high, dated to the 17th century, in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, accession number M.74.106.1.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's Paris, 7 December 2007, lot 377 Price: EUR 19,450 or approx. EUR 28,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : A gilt-bronze figure of a dakini, Nepal, 16th century Expert remark: Compare the closely related modeling, manner of casting, and gilding, with similar dress and jewelry. Note the much smaller size (18 cm).
