A VERY RARE GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF VAJRAPUTRA14th/15th century The figure sturdily cast seated in rajalita asana with the left foot resting on a lion cub, holding a bead of mala from a rosary in his right hand and a ruyi sceptre in his left, the contemplative face with a serene expression defined by gently-pursed lips and downcast eyes beneath long, arched eyebrows flanked by pendulous ears and curly locks at the temples, the beard arranged in small curls around the chin, wearing a loosely-fitting shawl covering the shoulders above a diaphanous dhoti finely detailed with incised floral scrolls at the hem, falling gently over the legs and secured by a bow around the bare chest, stand. 23cm (9in) high. (2).Footnotes:十四至十五世紀 銅鎏金笑獅羅漢像Provenance: a distinguished Italian private collection來源:歐洲傑出私人收藏The present figure is a rare and fine example of Buddhist portraiture, displaying remarkable casting and vividly-exemplified craftmanship. The figure is elegant and well proportioned, and meticulous attention to detail has been devoted to the harmonious rendering of the gentle facial expression, the tight curls of the hair and beard, and finally the elegant features of the garments, from the fine gentle folds of the shawl, conveying the weight and texture of the fabric, to the bowed sash securing the robe around the waist.Vajraputra was a lion hunter before converting to Buddhism. After the attained Enlightenment, a little lion came playfully to his side. The animal seemed to be grateful to him for giving up the life of killing lions, sparing its parents and brothers. Since then, Vajraputra and the lion have become inseparable. The lion with its roar symbolises the invincibility of Buddhism; see T.Watters, 'The Eighteen Lohan of Chinese Buddhist Temples', in Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 1898, pp.329-347.Luohan were perfected beings, disciples of Buddha who attained Enlightenment but chose to remain engaged in the world, postponing nirvana, in order to aid all sentient beings. These figures achieved Enlightenment through instruction, not meditation, and as a result, ranked just below bodhisattvas. In Buddhist texts, the Buddha is described variously as being accompanied by luohan, either fifty, five hundred, or multiples of this number. These numbers are usually taken to give an indication as to the size of the multitude, and are not meant to be literal. In Chinese art however, these numbers became a convenient convention for portraying these worthy disciples of the Buddha. One of the earliest portrayals of the luohan dating to the 6th century, depicts them as a group listening to the Buddha's teachings in a Buddhist cave at Longmen, in Henan Province. The earliest reference to a group of sixteen arhats, believed to be the earliest followers of the Buddha, occurs during the 8th century. By the Song dynasty (960-1279), this number had expanded to eighteen and by the Ming dynasty, arhats were also depicted in set of sixteen, as seen in the figures sculpted in the Shuanglin Temple, Pingyao, Shanxi Province, illustrated in Buddhist Sculpture of Shanxi Province, Beijing, 1991, pp.193-226.The facial features and garments worn by the present figure closely compare with a gilt-bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara, Yuan dynasty, and another gilt-bronze figure of a luohan, Ming dynasty, Hongzhi period, 1426, both illustrated in Buddha: 2000 Years of Buddhist Art. 232 Masterpieces, Cologne, 2016, pp.178-179, no.62, and pp.182-183, no.64.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
