注脚
藏西?十四世紀?錯銀錯紅銅文殊菩薩銅像??With a slight lean in his upper torso, Manjushri gazes down, deep in meditation. He is framed by two sinuous stems emerging from each side of the lotus base, blossoming by his shoulders with Manjushri's attributes: the sword and sutra.??The scale of the figure's chignon, towering behind the crown, is typical of 14th-century Western Tibetan sculptures, as are the thin metal struts connecting the tips of the crown leaves. These struts, bridging the crown, ribbons, sword, and sutra, were integral to the casting process, allowing molten metal to fill the clay mold. Compare the figural proportions, lotus stalks, and treatment of hair band and earrings with a 14th-century West Tibetan Amoghasiddhi published in Thurman & Rhie, Wisdom and Compassion, New York, 1999, p.349, no.142.???Published?Ashencaen, Deborah, Leonov, Gennady, and Spink & Son, Visions of Perfect Worlds: Buddhist Art from the Himalayas, London, 1999, p.18, fig.7.???Provenance?Spink and Son Ltd., London, by 1999?Christie's, New York, 20 March 2009, lot 1354?Private West Coast Collection
