STATUETTE D'UN GÉNÉRAL YAKSHA EN BRONZE DORÉ

XVIIIe siècle

A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF A YAKSHA GENERAL FROM A 51-DEITY SCULPTURAL MANDALA
18th century
Himalayan Art Resources item no. 1996
13.3 cm (5 1/4 in.) high

Footnotes

Provenance:
Formerly in the collection of Christian von Reitzenstein.

十八世紀 銅鎏金藥叉大將像 出自51尊神祇曼荼羅

來源
Christian von Reitzenstein舊藏

Seated in lalitasana on an ornately decorated rectangular cushion, his right hand holding the handle of a now missing sword while he holds a mongoose in his left hand, wearing a dhoti around his waist falling in generous folds across his legs, a fine scarf draped around his shoulders, his face with protruding eyes, smiling lips and goatee, his hair dressed in an elaborate chignon and hidden behind an elaborate crown, the base sealed.

This small figure is part of a fifty-one piece set of sculptures composing retinue figures from the mandala of Medicine Buddha. It represents one of the twelve Yaksha Generals, each identified by their unique attribute, in this case the now missing sword identifying him as Neche located in the Northern direction, who is depicted holding a sword in the right hand and a mongoose in the left. He is the sixth of the twelve Yaksha Generals in the Medicine Buddha mandala. Compare this figure with another four other figures possibly of the same set as the present figure from a private collection, illustrated in Himalayan Art Resources item no. 10649. Four figures from an earlier Tibetan set were sold in Christie's Paris, 8 June 2010, lot 378.
