注脚
印度北部 喜馬偕爾邦 十一/十二世紀 蓮華手觀音銅像Bordering Kashmir, the artists of Himachal Pradesh responded to burgeoning demand from West Tibet in the 11th and 12th centuries for Buddhist bronzes. This svelte Avalokiteshvara with a lustrous patina is one such example. A distinctive feature of Himachal bronzes from this time is its prominent sash, which is attached to the headdress and forms a big loop in front of the bodhisattva's shins. This is repeated in many contemporaneous Brahmanical images from Himachal Pradesh, such as von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, pp.144-151, nos.24D, 25E, 26C, F, G, and 27B, D. Also see a closely related example in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, published as West Tibetan in 1990 (Pal, Art of Tibet, Los Angeles, 1990, p.197, no.S7), but now attributed to Himachal Pradesh.Provenance Ex-Private German Collection, acquired between 1955-1987 (published in 1987)
