A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF CROWNED BUDDHA
TIBET, CIRCA 14TH CENTURY

西藏 約十四世紀 銅鎏金寶冠佛像

Provenance:
With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970s
Koller, Zurich, 27 and 28 May, 1988, lot 130 (unsold)

This image can be interpreted to represent either Akshobhya, assuming it was part of a set of Five Presiding Buddhas, or Crowned Shakyamuni, if it was intended as a singular piece or the central element of an ensemble. While Shakyamuni's renunciation of royal birth would seem to stand in opposition to his representation with a crown, Bautze-Picron has shown that the coalescence of Indian political, devotional, and philosophical developments resulted in Shakyamuni's spiritual authority being emphasized with regalia by the end of the First Millenium CE (Bautze-Picron, The Bejewelled Buddha from India to Burma, 2010). This iconographic tradition was adopted in Nepal by artists who may have promoted it in Tibet, where it is often depicted in bronzes with strong Nepalese stylistic traits produced for Tibetan patrons. This might be the case of the present lot, which features Nepalese characteristics such as a broad forehead and robust physique.
