A Very Early Lacquered Bronze Buddha, possibly 10th-12th Century. This is an extremely fragile object which is commensurate with its potential age (10th-12th Century). There are traces of gilding to the body and a red band around the base. The hair particularly on the back (see pictures) clearly show the use of ground lapis lazuli which has been painted into the hair.The inside of the back of the buddha is clearly visible as the back has been open and exposed, probably to remove some valuable writing/object that had been stored inside. The damage is not visible from the front. There are traces of a material that has been applied to the interior body of the Buddha - another indication of distinct age.This Buddha is seated in the Bhumisparsha Mudra with the right hand extended towards (touching) the ground and with a very serene face. This is a sign symbolising The Buddha's enlightenment under the bodhi tree, when he summoned the earth goddess, Sthavara, to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment. The right hand, placed upon the right knee in earth-pressing mudra, and complemented by the left hand - which is held flat in the lapin the dhyana mudra of meditation, symbolises the union of the method and wisdom, smasara and nirvana, and also the realisations of the conventional and ultimate truths. It is in this posture that Shakyamuni overcame the instructions of mara while meditating on Truth.Provenance: This Buddha was gifted to a family who were based in Peking (now Beijing) up until 1914.

Buckle. Celtiberian culture, 4th-2nd centuries BC.Bronze.Provenance: Private collection of the Berenguer family.Measurements: 16,5 x 6 x 3 cm .Bronze buckle from the Celtiberian culture, decorated with horizontal and vertical grooved shapes and two rows of conical ornaments.The term Celtiberian refers to a series of pre-Roman Celtic or Celticized peoples who inhabited the area of the Iberian Peninsula known as Celtiberia in classical sources from the end of the Bronze Age (approx. 13th century BC) until the Romanisation of Hispania (2nd century BC to 1st century BC), which could include the current areas of Burgos, Soria, Zaragoza, Guadalajara and down to Cuenca, in other words the central-western part of the Iberian Peninsula. Where the villages were settled. Arevacos, Pelendones, Belos, Titos, Berones, Lobetanos, Lusones, etc.

Axe. Atlantic Bronze Age, 2nd millennium BC.Bronze.Provenance: private collection Q.M. Barcelona, acquired in the 1970s. Acquired from heirs.Conservation: intact.Measurements: 20 cm. long.Bronze axe belonging to the Atlantic Final Bronze Age culture. This is a time phase or group of chronocultures characterised by metal deposits. In the Iberian Peninsula it dates from 1250 BC to 850 BC and extends from the Algarve and Huelva to the Bay of Biscay and links up with the continental Atlantic Late Bronze Age. It is divided into three stages: Atlantic Final Bronze Age I (1250-1100 BC), II (1100-940) and III (940-850). This historical process is parallel to the cultures of the first urn fields, Cogotas I, the southwestern stelae and the Phoenician colonisation. Its end coincides with the beginnings of Tartessos.

Applique; Celtiberian culture, 3rd century.Bronze.Provenance: Private collection of the Berenguer family.Measurements: 11.8 x 4 cm.The term Celtiberian groups together a series of pre-Roman Celtic or Celticized peoples who inhabited the area of the Iberian Peninsula known as Celtiberia in classical sources from the end of the Bronze Age (around the 13th century BC) until the Romanisation of Hispania (2nd-1st century BC). One of the main sources of information on the material culture of the Celtiberian peoples are the funerary trousseaus, with metal objects (generally bronze and iron, but also silver), including weapons, ornaments and tools, and also ceramic pieces, ranging from the cinerary urn itself to beads and fusayoles. These grave goods were made up of functional objects from everyday life as well as others of purely symbolic and social value, indicating the status of the deceased. The important role of weaponry and, in particular, swords is particularly noteworthy, as they speak of the privileged place occupied by warriors in Celtiberian society.

Pendant amulet. Celtiberian culture, 3rd-2nd century BC.Bronze.Provenance: Private collection of the Berenguer family.Measurements: 1,8 x 6 x 2,3 cm .Pendant amulet from the Celtiberian culture made in bronze, representing an eagle hunting a rabbit.The term Celtiberian groups together a series of pre-Roman Celtic or Celticized peoples who inhabited from the end of the Bronze Age (approx. 13th century BC), until the Romanisation of Hispania (2nd century BC to 1st century BC), the area of the Iberian Peninsula called Celtiberia by classical sources, which could include the current areas of Burgos, Soria, Zaragoza, Guadalajara, going down to Cuenca, in other words the central-western area of the peninsula, where the peoples settled. Arevacos, pelendones......., all with a common language.

STATUE DE MAITREYA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVREVALLÉE DE SWAT, CIRCA VIIE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4861 19.8 cm (7 3/4 in.) high Footnotes:A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF MAITREYA SWAT VALLEY, CIRCA 7TH CENTURY 斯瓦特 約七世紀 彌勒菩薩銅像 Published: Arman Neven, Sculpture de Indes, Brussels, 1978, p. 73, no. 31. Ulrich von Schroder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p. 92, no. 10A. Jan van Alphen, Cast for Eternity, Antwerp, 2003, p. 73, no. 15. Exhibited: Sculpture des Indes, Société Générale de Banque, Brussels, 8 December 1978 - 31 January 1979. Cast for Eternity, Antwerp Ethnographic Museum, Belgium, 12 April 2005 - 26 June 2005. Provenance: With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970s One of Claude de Marteau's prized possessions for over forty years, this important and handsome Maitreya figure exhibits some of the finer characteristics of sculpture from the Swat Valley, inviting comparison with a well-known and highly regarded Maitreya in the British Museum (Pal, Bronzes of Kashmir, 1975, pp. 200-1; von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, 1981, no. 11D). Both figures sit regally on a lion throne, holding an emblematic flask (kamandalu) between long, delicate fingers. The confidence and skill of the creator of the present sculpture are clear from the inherent vitality possessed by the youthful figure, whose torso is muscular and supple, as sumptuous as the lotus base's swollen petals. The verdant valley of Swat, located in modern-day Pakistan, fell within the cultural boundaries of Ancient Gandhara's Buddhist civilization. Hundreds of monastic sites were established in Swat before the 2nd century CE. Secluded within the lush foothills of the Hindu Kush mountains, Swat later served as a crucial bastion for Buddhism as political and economic stability diminished in Gandhara Proper due to the dissolution of the Kushan Empire and recurring Hun raids. As a result, a small but exciting school of Buddhist sculpture flourished in Swat between the 6th and 10th centuries, incorporating artistic elements from the various empires that controlled portions of the broader region over time. The intriguing cosmopolitan aesthetic of Swat bronzes is reflected in this Maitreya. While much of the Gandharan taste for Greco-Roman realism is lost, the long hair, commanding posture, and pleated vestiture still arguably harken back to some of Gandharan art's key idioms. Meanwhile, the Swat craftsman responsible for this bronze probably drew extensively from the art of the Gupta period (4th-6th century), considered the Golden Age of Indian art, which here informed the fleshy physiognomy, large-beaded necklace, bare chest, floral-medallion armbands, slender waist, lightweight lower garment, and broad unfurling lotus petals. These features are represented in Gupta sandstone sculptures of Avalokiteshvara in the National Museum, New Delhi (Pal, The Ideal Image, 1978, p. 20, fig. 4), and Vishnu in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (17.1015). Remarkably, the origins of the strips of cloth hanging from his crown behind the ears can be traced to the Sasanian Empire (3rd-7th century; see Pal, The Ideal Image, 1978, p. 117).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

TRIADE DE PADMASAMBHAVA ET SES ÉPOUSES, MANDARAVA ET YESHE TSOGYAL, EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, CIRCA XVIIE SIÈCLEWith an original silver skull-cup (kapala) mounted within Padmasambhava's left hand.Himalayan Art Resources item no. 4810 24 cm (9 1/2 in.) high Footnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY TRIAD OF PADMASAMBHAVA AND HIS CONSORTS, MANDARAVA AND YESHE TSOGYALTIBET, CIRCA 17TH CENTURY西藏 約十七世紀 銅鎏金蓮花生大士與曼達拉娃及益西措嘉像Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sOne of the finest known examples of this rare, complete subject, the present gilt bronze triad depicts Padmasambhava—the 'Lotus Born'—according to his creation myth, joined by his two wives. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism in Tibet in the 8th century. He is also the root guru of the Nyingma order, who regard him as a 'Second Buddha' and maintain he planted treasure teachings (terma) throughout the Himalayas to be discovered when the world is ready. According to traditional biographies, Padmasambhava was miraculously born in the center of a lotus blossom on Lake Danakosha in Oddiyana, which this sculpture commemorates. In delightful detail, two fish, a duck, a goose, an auspicious conch, and a mythical crocodile (makara) populate the lake's swirling vegetal waters envisioned by the ensemble's base. Padmasambhava is joined by his two consorts and close disciples, each smaller and seated on a lotus flower stemming from the same central stalk. His first consort, Mandarava (viewer's left), was a princess from Himachal Pradesh in Northwestern India and is therefore depicted wearing Indianized dress consisting of a pleated sari, large plug earrings, and jewelry with triangular foliate designs. She raises her hands in the age-old gesture of entreaty (anjali mudra), and the branching lotus stem below her also blooms a blue lily. His second consort, Yeshe Tsogyal (viewer's right), hailed from an aristocratic family in Central Tibet, and is therefore dressed in a heavy royal Tibetan cloak and wears floral-medallion earrings with small piercings. She wields the scented skull cup, a vajrayana implement, while displaying the gesture of teaching (vitarka mudra) with her other hand. Below, her stem also sprouts a white lotus bud. Tsogyal, whose name means 'Victor of the Lake', is considered the first Tibetan to have achieved Buddhahood in a single lifetime. The present ensemble ranks highly among a range of other examples depicting this subject listed as HAR set no. 5068. Exquisitely cast, thickly gilded, and featuring a particular style of long, plump lotus petals with frilled tips, this sculpture joins a growing body of sculptures being attributed to Tashi Lhunpo monastery in Shigatse, Central Tibet (for further discussion, see Luo, 'Tashi Lhunpo Statuary: Karma and Mt Meru', in Bonhams, Hong Kong, 26 November 2019). Tashi Lhunpo is the traditional monastic seat of the Panchen Lama, the Gelug order's second-in-command, and maintained a particularly close relationship with the Qing court during the reign of the Kangxi emperor (1662-1722). A related bronze of Panjaranatha Mahakala was sold at Bonhams, New York, 19 March 2019, lot 928.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
