拍品描述 翻译
A RARE BRONZE FIGURE OF MAITREYA, PROBABLY FROM THE 'PRAKHON CHAI HOARD', PRE-ANGKOR, 8TH-9TH CENTURY This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve Standing in slight tribhanga with two hands before him and the other two raised, dressed in a short sarong secured at the waist with a cord, the face with wide features, a moustache framing the full lips, and a serene expression flanked by pendulous earlobes, the hair arranged in neat rows in a jatamukuta with finely incised, towering locks centered by a small stupa. Provenance: Freddy Hansen, Copenhagen, Denmark, by 1990. Jorgen Ruben, acquired from the above. In the Jorgen Ruben Collection for 36 years . Freddy Hansen was a Danish dealer of Asian art and antiquities, particularly Buddhist sculpture. Based in Copenhagen, he was active from the 1950s onward and became one of Denmark’s most prominent dealers in Asian art before his retirement in the early 1990s. Jorgen Ruben is a Danish art dealer and collector who has been active for over four decades and is highly regarded in the fields of Asian art and classical antiquities. Raised in an art-conscious family, Ruben was exposed early to both modern painting and European decorative arts. He began working in the art trade in the mid-1970s, first with Persian rugs and later with antiques, while travels to Iran and a visit to Persepolis sparked his lasting interest in antiquity. After studies in Copenhagen and London, he worked in England with a dealer in early furniture, before travelling widely in Latin America and Asia, deepening his knowledge of regional art and culture. In 1984 Ruben opened a gallery in Copenhagen dealing in Asian antiquities. He was later active in London and, in the early 2000s, operated the Brussels gallery Classic Art. Much of his career, however, has been conducted privately from home, selling by appointment to collectors, galleries, and museums. Ruben has always bought selectively, choosing only works that deeply engaged him, and often keeping them for many years until placing them with a collector he felt truly understood them. Important Note: For essential information on the Jorgen Ruben Gallery Ledger and provenance documentation please visit here: www.zacke.at/rubencollection_ledger Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, corrosion, casting flaws, nicks, scratches, minor losses, the feet reattached, a small fill to the face, and the back of the head with touchups. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown patina. Weight: 519 g (excl. stand), 817 g (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 25.9 cm (excl. stand), 31.6 cm (incl. stand) With an associated stand. (2) As a center of Buddhist practice , primarily Mahayana Buddhism, the Prakhon Chai region produced figures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas that are depicted as ascetics; the figures are clad in the traditional Khmer and Thai sampot secured with a simple cord, and are otherwise unadorned, a departure from other Khmer styles in which bodhisattvas wear jewelry. As unifying stylistic features, the bodies of Prakhon Chai figures are strikingly slender and graceful, and the fingers of the four hands curl inwards towards the palm, as if the bodhisattva were delicately plucking flowers. The elaborate looping coiffure in the present example is also distinctive to the region, contrasting with the wild jatamukutas of Shaiva ascetics as they are depicted in India. The so-called “Prakhon Chai Hoard” was accidentally discovered by local villagers in 1964 at Prasat Hin Khao Plai Bat II, a tenth-century Khmer brick temple in Buriram Province. Concealed in a stone-covered pit within the temple precinct, the bronzes were likely buried during the site’s rededication for Brahmanical use. Some bear traces of cloth wrappings, evidence of careful ritual deposition. Initially misattributed to Prakhon Chai district, the cache in fact originated from nearby Lahan Sai, though the name has endured. Numbering at least fifty-three known examples and perhaps two to three hundred in total, it is possibly the largest and most important cache of Buddhist bronzes ever discovered in mainland Southeast Asia. These sculptures embody a fusion of Mon-Dvaravati, Khmer, and pre-Angkorian traditions, yet reveal a strikingly local vision. Their slender bodies, serene faces, and restrained drapery convey a spiritual clarity unique to this region. Distinctive features, such as the carefully plaited coiffure of bronze figures, distinguish them from their Indian prototypes and mark them as products of the Korat Plateau. The predominance of Avalokiteshvara and Maitreya over images of the Buddha reflects the strength of Mahayana devotion during this period of Southeast Asian history, making the present example of a seated Buddha even more rare. The hoard was first systematically studied by Jean Boisselier in 1967, who emphasized both the stylistic unity of the bronzes and their pivotal role in understanding the development of art in the Korat Plateau. His chronology has since been refined through comparisons with sculptures from Ban Thahnot, Ban Fai, and pre-Angkorian Khmer monuments of the eighth century. Their high tin content, which gives the metal a luminous silvery sheen, only enhances their elegance. Today the Prakhon Chai bronzes remain essential witnesses to the religious and artistic ferment of early Southeast Asia, among the most evocative and enduring Buddhist images ever produced.

Compare a closely related bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara, second half of the 7th-8th century, 34.9 cm tall, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 1987.145.
