A Chinese bronze Figure of Maitreya, probably early Ming Dynasty, the god seated on the back of a kylin, on a rectangular gadrooned base, traces of pigment and gilding, 27.2cm This deity is Maitreya The Buddha of the Future (Champa in Tibetan). His identification symbols are the water pot, which is supported at his right shoulder on a lotus stem in his right hand. A secondary symbol is the stupa in his headdress. This bronze is Chinese in style and manufacture, but made for a Tibetan Buddhist, or for use either in northern China or in Tibet.
A Chinese Bronze Vase, probably Jiajing (1522-66), the well-cast elongated pear body with lotus between elephant head handles above swags of pearls and on three elephant head feet, the whole set with cabochons, most missing, 19.5cm Some of the stones may be emeralds, but the majority were probably smoky quartz. Similarly caparisoned elephants, which are of Buddhist significance, were frequent in the late Ming, taking the form of incense burners and porcelain kendhi. For a one of the former, see Chinese and Japanese Bronzes, A.D. 1100-1900, Michael Goedhuis, 1989, no 17.
