PLAT D'OFFRANDE RITUEL ET SON TRÉPIED EN ACIER DAMASQUINÉ OR ET ARGENTTIBET ORIENTAL, XVE/XVIE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205027 The basin: 50 cm (19 3/4 in.) diam.; With stand: 67 cm (26 3/8 in.) highFootnotes:A GOLD AND SILVER DAMASCENED STEEL RITUAL OFFERING DISH AND TRIPOD STAND EASTERN TIBET, 15TH/16TH CENTURY 藏東 十五/十六世紀 鋼鋄金銀供盤及三足供架 Such refined metalwork with damascened silver and gold inlays such as this tripod draws association to the famed Chinese workshops of the early Ming dynasty and the foundries of Derge in eastern Tibet. The large flaming scroll along the exterior of the basin suggests that this object was used in fire-offering rituals relating to the Hindu fire god Agni. Tibetan fire rituals were used as a swift conduit between the worshipper and deity, with smoke acting as a means of purifying the obstructions to one's spiritual path. Published:Michael Henss, Buddhist Ritual Art of Tibet: A Handbook on Ceremonial Objects and Ritual Furnishings in the Tibetan Temple, Stuttgart, 2020, p. 267, no. 342.Exhibited:Remember That You Will Die, Rubin Museum of Art, New York, 19 March - 9 August 2010.Provenance:Nagel, Stuttgart, 8 November 2011, lot 1348.Astamangala, Amsterdam, 2000sFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

TRÉPIED RITUEL EN FER DAMASQUINÉ ARGENT ET ORTIBET ORIENTAL, DERGÉ, XVE/XVIE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205044 98 cm (38 5/8 in.) highFootnotes:A SILVER AND GOLD DAMASCENED IRON RITUAL TRIPOD STAND EASTERN TIBET, DERGE, 15TH/16TH CENTURY 藏東 更慶鎮 十五/十六世紀 鐵鋄金銀三足供架 Tripod stands such as these had a multitude of purposes, as the illustrations in the Gold Manuscript from the Fournier Collection in The Secret Visions of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama reveal. The images depict tripods of this kind holding torma offerings, bumpas, kapalas, and in some cases show implements balanced on top of one another. Clearly used for tantric rituals and empowerment ceremonies, this tripod stand favors a style closely associated to the Ming court. Like other iron implements included in this sale in the damascened style of Eastern Tibet, the entire surface of the legs are covered in gold and silver inlays of scrolling foliate designs. The upper rim which would have held the offerings in place is trimmed in a geometric motif, while churning waves define the ends of the three cabriole legs. Wrathful faces are inlaid along the edges of the legs with the tops surmounted by three silver skull-heads, all of which indicate a conflated Tibeto-Chinese style. Tripod stands of this kind are known as early as the 9th/10th centuries as indicated from a painting from Dunhuang. Their use in ritual offerings is documented in paintings, as seen in a 14th-century painting of Amitabha which shows in the lower right corner the eight auspicious symbols atop tripods with a kneeling donor figure to the side (HAR 60680). Another iron and damascened tripod is illustrated in Thurman & Weldon, Sacred Symbols: The Ritual Art of Tibet, New York, 1999, fig. 66.Published:Natalie Bazin, Rituels tibétains: Visions secrètes du Vème Dalaï Lama, Paris, 2002, p. 167, no. 141.Exhibited:Rituels tibétains: Visions secrètes du Vème Dalaï Lama, Musée Guimet, Paris, 6 November 2002 - 24 February 2003.Provenance:Christie's, New York, 17 October 2001, lot 131.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

VERSEUSE RITUELLE EN NÉPHRITE À MONTURE EN ARGENTMONGOLIE, XVIIIE/XIXE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205030 With lid: 19 cm (7 1/2 in.) highFootnotes:A SILVER MOUNTED NEPHRITE RITUAL EWER MONGOLIA, 18TH/19TH CENTURY 蒙古 十八/十九世紀 和闐玉嵌銀嵌寶執壺In Qing China and Mughal India, nephrite jade was popularly fashioned into tools, vessels, and decorative objects as signs of status and kingship. This practice was transmitted to some extent into Mongolia, based on the present ewer's loose borrowings of a Chinese-styled ruyi band at the foot and a dragon-headed spout. Its use of silver with embellishments of multicolored inset stones, however, reflect the aesthetic tastes of Mongolian elites and an awareness for Tibetan art. In the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is a jade ceremonial urn erroneously dated to the 16th century (M.83.247a-b) that shares a nearly identical arrangement of garland-spewing kirtimukhas on silver mounts, strongly hinting that both objects were once part of the same altar set.
