STUPA EN LAITONTIBET, VERS XIVE SIÈCLE Inset with turquoise;Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205006 33 cm (13 in.) highFootnotes:A BRASS STUPA TIBET, CIRCA 14TH CENTURY 西藏 約十四世紀 銅嵌寶佛塔 A symbol considered to be both sacred and precious, the stupa represents the body, speech, and mind of the Buddha. Starting from the base, each section represents the upward transformation of each of the five elements: earth, water, fire, wind, and space, rising into a realm of enlightenment. The earth is represented by the lotus petals with the bell-shaped body which rises to a platform signifying water. The spire represents fire and consists of thirteen tapering rings which sits above a turquoise-inset parasol, implying wind. At the apex sits a lotus bud finial, adorned with decorative sashes, representing space.This type of stupa in Tibet is known as a kadam chorten and is an interpretation of the eastern Indian model that was brought to Tibet in the 11th century by the great teacher Atisha (982-1054). For other examples of this stupa type, see one sold at Christie's, New York, 19 September 2000, lot 117.

STUPA DU MAHAPARINIRVANA EN LAITONTIBET, VERS XIIIE SIÈCLE Inset with turquoise;Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205014 54.1 cm (21 1/4 in.) highFootnotes:A BRASS MAHAPARINIRVANA STUPA TIBET, CIRCA 13TH CENTURY 西藏 約十三世紀 銅嵌寶大涅槃塔The stupa is the earliest form of the Buddha image, initially constructed to commemorate the major events in the historical life of the Buddha Shakyamuni. The Indian Buddhist tradition of stupa construction developed into a widespread practice of relic worship, which eventually resulted in the creation of portable objects. During the 3rd century BCE, the emperor Ashoka of the Maurya dynasty divided up the Buddha's relics and built 84,000 stupas throughout India in an acknowledgement of the Buddha's omnipresence.This stupa is closely associated with the earliest form known as the Kadampa style. The bell-shaped design and wide leaf lotus petals make reference to northeast Indian models from the Pala period. However, the shape of the parasol, which has been surmounted by a pendant finial and inset with turquoise, is a unique Tibetan adaptation. A close example of this style is illustrated in Henss, Buddhist Ritual Art of Tibet, Stuttgart, 2020, no. 57.Published:Ramon Prats, et.al., Monasterios y lamas del Tibet, Madrid, Fundación 'La Caixa', 2000, p. 123, no. 71.Exhibited:Monasterios y lamas del Tibet, Fundación 'La Caixa', Madrid, November 2000-January 2001.Provenance:Spink & Son Ltd., London, 1990sFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Heuer. A fine stainless steel automatic calendar chronograph square bracelet watchModel: Monaco 'Steve McQueen'Reference: 1133BDate: Circa 1970Movement: 17-jewel Cal.12 automaticDial: Blue, applied polished baton hour markers, white 1/5th second divisions with red baton five second markers, subsidiary dials at 3 and 9 for 30 minute and 12 hour recording, date aperture at 6, pointed baton hands with red accents and luminous inserts, red centre chronograph hand Case: Brushed and polished square, snap on back, signed crown at 9, twin chronograph pushers at 2 and 4, No.157629Strap/Bracelet: Fitted brushed linkBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movementSize: 40mm Accompaniments: Original Heuer boxFootnotes:The Monaco model with the reference 1133 B was worn by Steve McQueen in the famous racing film 'Le Mans'. The connection between McQueen and his Monaco had its origins in the relationship between McQueen and Jo Siffert. Jo Siffert who was one of the most successful sports car racers of the time was involved with the filming of the race scenes in 1970. Siffert arranged for other race car and famous endurance drivers, such as Derek Bell, Brian Redman, Rolf Stommelen, David Piper and others to participate too.For his Gulf Porsche 917 driving scenes, Steve McQueen wanted them to remain as true and original as possible and he insisted on wearing the same style of driving suit as Jo Siffert, with the large Heuer Chronograph logo on the front. The Heuer Monaco was just introduced with its cutting edge design and Steve McQueen decided to wear a Monaco in the film. Gerd Rüdiger Lang, former owner of Chronoswiss, was a time witness to these events and he himself started during the mid sixties as a young watchmaker at Heuer. He remembers bringing 20 Heuer wristwatches, some stopwatches, Heuer patches and stickers to Le Mans for filming just prior to the race in 1970. The Monaco's starring role on Steve McQueen's wrist helped create its legend, but it was the chronograph's radical look and its complete break with tradition, both inside and outside, that made it stand out. It had a fantastic presence during the film 'Le Mans' of more than 16 minutes.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
