According to the 'Larger Sūtra of Immeasurable Life', compiled during the 1st or 2nd century AD, the infinite merits possessed by the deity resulted from the performance of good deeds in his past lives as a bodhisattva named Dharmakara. Having attained Enlightenment, the deity resided in the wondrous realm of Sukhavati.While there are extant examples of jade carvings of Buddha, figures of Amitayus are much rarer.

Lot 134
An impressive and finely inlaid iron vase and cover with historical scenesBy the Komai Company of Kyoto, Meiji era (1868-1912), late 19th/early 20th centuryDecorated with gold nunome damascene overlay and silver details, the flattened-spherical body with a tall foot resting on a stand with four lobed feet, silvered elephant-head handles to either side each with a pendant chain including lobed floral ornaments and a bell-like finial, the hemispherical cover surmounted by a shishi (Chinese mythological lion dog), each side of the body with a silver-rimmed lobed panel, on one side a night scene of a seated Buddhist monk/samurai with his armour chest and tachi behind him, writing brush in hand, facing a helmet-less samurai also holding writing materials, behind them a nomaku (field curtain) emblazoned with three Uesugi-sasa mon (Bamboo-and-sparrow crests, see below) and an overhanging pine tree, the scene illuminated by two kagari (braziers), on the other side a related scene, in a different location, of two samurai in mortal combat, scattered sakazuki (sake cups) at their feet, one holding a long yari which the other parries with his left hand while brandishing a tachi in his right, the surrounding surfaces with typical Komai dense ground decoration including ho-o birds, peony scrolls, key fret, floral medallions, birds and creepers, vine leaves and scrolls, chrysanthemum mon (crests), katabami mon (woodsorrel crests), butterflies and other motifs, signed underneath in gold in seal form Nihonkoku Kyoto no ju Komai sei (Manufactured by Komai of Kyoto in Japan). 17.5cm x 12cm x 29cm (6 7/8in x 4¾in x 11 7/16in). (2).Footnotes:The decoration on large-scale Komai work often incorporates detailed, complex narrative scenes based on recent or contemporary woodblock-printed sources. Although the precise source has yet to be identified, this is likely the case with the present lot, whose lobed panels depict two, probably linked, scenes from the civil wars that ravaged Japan in the second half of the sixteenth century. The large mon (crest) with two confronted sparrows and leaves of bamboo grass, shown three times on the nomaku (field curtain) behind the senior figure in the more peaceful scene, is that of Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578), one of the most powerful warlords of the day; he was renowned for his Buddhist piety and devotion to Bishamon, the Buddhist God of War, which may explain his appearance here in the garb of a monk. The most likely episode is perhaps the inconclusive fourth battle of Kawanakajima (1561), whose most famous episode is a one-on-one combat between Uesugi and Takeda Shingen (1521-1573).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Wu, Shangzhou qingtongqi mingwen ji tuxiang jicheng (Corpus of Inscriptions and Images of Bronzes from the Shang & Zhou Dynasties), Shanghai, 2016, vol.24, p.131, pl.13217The Malcolm Collection of Chinese early bronzes, ceramics and works of art was one of the most important private collections of its type formed in England during the 1920s-1940s. As described by Captain Dugald Malcolm in the foreword to the 1977 Sotheby's catalogue, his father Sir Neill Malcolm first went to China in 1896. Starting from Leh in Kashmir, the journey to Beijing took seven months. His first purchases were made in Berlin in 1919 and then later when he served in Singapore (1921-1924). Between the First and Second World Wars he visited Beijing a number of times and made a few purchases, although the bulk of the collecting took place in London. Sir Neill Malcolm was a member of the Executive Committee of the 1935-1936 Exhibition at the Royal Academy and lent 16 pieces himself. Since 1953 and prior to being sold in 1977, the collection was on loan to London University, first to the Courtauld Institute and then at the Percival David Foundation, which made the collection available for study to scholars.來源：爵級司令勳章及傑出服務勳章获勋人Neill Malcolm少將（1869-1953年）舊藏聖米迦勒及聖喬治勳章三等勳爵士Dugald Malcolm上尉（1917-2000年）舊藏倫敦蘇富比，「Malcolm收藏中國青銅禮器」專場拍賣，1977年3月29日，拍品編號17紐約古董商Hartman Rare Art倫敦佳士得，1990年12月10日，拍品編號2紐約佳士得，1997年9月18日，拍品編號324歐洲重要私人收藏展覽記錄：Dartington Hall，「Exhibition of Chinese Art（中國藝術展）」，1949年7月9日-8月14日，《圖錄》，編號1倫敦東方陶瓷學會，「Exhibition of Early Chinese Bronzes（早期中國青銅器展）」，1951年，《圖錄》，編號70出版著錄：Dartington Hall，《中國藝術圖錄》，1949年，編號1倫敦東方陶瓷學會，《早期中國青銅器展圖錄》，1951年，，編號70劉雨，盧岩，《近出殷周金文集錄》，卷三，北京，2002年，頁57，圖版597汪濤，劉雨，《流散歐美殷周有銘青銅器集錄》，上海，2007年，圖版146吳鎮烽，《商周青銅器銘文暨圖像集成》，上海，2016年，卷24，頁131，圖版13217Malcolm氏的高古青銅器和陶瓷等中國藝術品收藏，乃是上世紀二十至四十年代英國最為重要的中國藝術私人鉅藏之一。如Dugald Malcolm上尉在1977年蘇富比專拍圖錄前言中所述，Neill Malcolm少將於1896年首次進入中國，但直至1919年才在柏林購入第一件藏品。其於1921至1924年在新加坡履職，一戰及二戰期間也曾多次造訪北京，購買古董，但其大部分收藏還是購自倫敦。1935至1936年，中國藝術國際博覽會於倫敦皇家藝術學院舉辦，Malcolm少將任執行委員會委員之一，並借展了所藏16件藏品。1953年Malcolm少將逝世後，其藏品先後出借於倫敦大學下屬的考陶爾德學院與大維德中國藝術基金會，供學者們研究學&...

AN ARCHAIC BRONZE RITUAL FOOD VESSEL AND COVER, DOUEastern Zhou DynastyThe bowl raised on a high stem, the body cast with stylised dragons beneath two bands of densely arranged S-scrolls, the sides set with a pair of loop handles, the same design repeated on the cover surrounding the everted finial decorated with interlacing designs, the pale green patina with scattered malachite encrustations. 20cm (8in) high.Footnotes:東周 青銅蟠虺紋豆Provenance: an important European private collection來源：歐洲重要私人收藏Crisply cast in low relief with interlacing designs of repeated minuscule units, each composed of a diagonal braid with C-designs in its upper left and right corners, the present vessel is a fine example of grain receptacles used in ritual performances to worship the ancestors during the Eastern Zhou Period (771-256 BC).The origin of the dou can be traced back to the shallow pottery tazza of the Longshan culture during the late Neolithic Period. The form continued to be in common use throughout the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was in the Western Zhou period that attempts were made to embellish the simple pottery form by fashioning it from lacquer over a wood core, or casting it in bronze.Bronze versions of the dou vessel, such as the present example, the standard shape being shallow bowls with straight vertical sides rising from tall pedestal feet, are likely to have developed during the Western Zhou period (1047-772 BC). Archaeological excavations suggest that the further refinement of the domed lid and the lug handles were added to the vessel at the beginning of the Eastern Zhou period. During the Eastern Zhou dynasty, dou vessels gradually replaced their gui counterpart to become the most essential grain containers in a ritual vessel set; see J.So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, London, 1996, pp.179-180.Compare the shape and fine decoration and its arrangement on the present vessel with a related bronze dou, late Spring and Autumn period, 6th century BC, illustrated by J.So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, London, 1996, no.24.A similar bronze ritual food vessel and cover, dou, 6th century BC, was sold at Christie's New York, 19 September 2013, lot 1108.豆為食器，新石器時代晚期的龍山文化即有黑陶陶豆出土，商周時期，青銅豆得以大量使用。青銅豆延續了陶豆類高足盤的形制，約於西周時期逐漸演化出上為淺碗形盤、中呈柱形柄、柄下圈足的標準器型；東周時期更常見穹頂形蓋及環耳。東周以後，豆逐漸取代簋的地位，成為祭祀儀式中盛放黍稷等穀物的重要禮器。見蘇芳淑著，《Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M.

A Mughal pale green jade ewer and coverIndia, 18th centuryThe pear-shaped body rising from a short foot, carved in low relief with sprays of blossoming flowers surrounded by meandering leaf stems beneath a band of pendent leaves, with similar designs repeated on the domed cover surrounding a lotus-bud-shaped finial, the body with an integral straight spout. 15cm (6in) long.Footnotes:十八世紀 青白玉雕痕都斯坦式蓋壺Provenance: an important European private collection來源：歐洲重要私人收藏This elegant jade wine ewer is of a rare but known form. The Mughal Empire in India (1526-1857) left a legacy of high-quality worked jades. The Qianlong emperor greatly admired the so-called 'Hindustan' jades, and in 1768, he wrote the Tianzhu wuyindu kaoe, a scholarly text on the geography of Hindustan and the derivation of its name. The area he identified was in what is today India, with the city of Agra at its centre. During the eighteenth century, this area was part of the Mughal Empire and thus the jades from this region are today often referred to as 'Mughal' jades. The decoration of the present vessel may have been inspired by Emperor Jahangir's visit to the beautiful flower-filled valleys of Kashmir in 1620, which prompted the introduction of a new style of drawing on botanical designs.Compare with a related jade ewer, 17th/18th century, in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Exquisite Beauty - Islamic Jades, Taipei, 2007, pl.96.
