拍品描述 翻译
A LARGE AND IMPORTANT GRAY SCHIST FIGURE OF MAITREYA, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA
2nd-3rd century. Superbly carved standing on a square base depicting donor figures venerating a Buddhist reliquary that rests on a low throne under a canopy. Wearing a dhoti with elaborate cascading folds and secured with a finely detailed sash at the waist, a further cloak draped across his shoulder in an elegant sweeping curve, richly adorned with beaded necklaces and armlets. His serene face with crisply delineated features, such as the full lips, wavy mustache, and heavy-lidded eyes. The hair tied in a looped topknot. The head backed by a round halo.

Provenance: From an old Belgian private collection.
Condition:
Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, nicks, scratches, possibly old fills and small pieces reattached, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations. The fragment of one hand still present, which was broken in two and reassembled some time ago, and possibly associated. Fine, naturally grown, smooth patina.

Dimensions: 115 cm (incl. stand) and 112 cm (excl. stand)

Mounted on an associated stand. (2)

The present schist figure of Maitreya is of exceptional sculptural quality. The statue’s refinement and elegant restraint place it in the 2nd-3rd centuries, often considered the high period of Gandharan art. Maitreya is considered the Buddha of the future. When the dharma is forgotten on Earth, he will descend from the Tushita Heaven, where he resides, to be born in our realm as the next Buddha. When he is born on Earth, Maitreya is depicted in rich robes similar to that of the historical Gautama Buddha, prior to his renunciation of worldly goods. In the Gandharan period, Maitreya is considered the most important Bodhisattva.

It is likely he would have held a water vessel in the left hand, which is found in many different contexts within Indian sculpture, but is almost always a symbol of fertility and life. It is an apt visual icon, therefore, for Maitreya's role as a progenitor of future peace and order.

本尊片岩彌勒佛像,雕塑品質非凡。二至三世紀是犍陀羅藝術的鼎盛時期。彌勒佛被認為是未來的佛陀。當佛法在人間被遺忘時,他將從他所居住的兜率天降生到我們的世界,成為下一任佛陀。當彌勒佛出生時,身著高貴豪華的殊妙服飾,流露王侯貴族的王子氣派,無疑是悉達多太子成佛前菩薩裝扮的完美體現。在犍陀羅時期,彌勒被認為是最重要的菩薩。

此像左手可能曾經有過一個水瓶。古代婆羅門行者常持著水瓶,彌勒菩薩因其出身婆羅門,故特有此造形。梵天與婆羅門行者所持之瓶,象徵裝有甘露法水之不朽生命意義。
