BRONZE DAOIST FIGURE OF VIRUPAKSHA MING DYNASTY 明 銅鑄廣目天王立像 the Buddhist Guardian General is cast standing mightily on a trapezoid podium supported with four pillars enclosing openwork panels on a larger trapezoid stand raised on four bracket feet, clad in full armour decorated with upside down beast head-epaulettes on the belly and lower sides, adorned with billowing scarves, his left hand holding a flaming pearl disc, face in wrathful expression marked by intense almond-shaped eyes below furrowed brows, a broad nose, flaring moustache and beard, wearing a Ming official headwear Dimensions:43.2cm high; 5.5kgProvenance:Provenance: Private Scottish collection, acquired in Glasgow in the 1970sNote: Note: This figure of Virupaksha portrays one of the four heavenly guardian kings or the keepers of the universe. Buddhist tradition associates the heavenly defenders, dharmapalas, with the four directions, Dhritarashtra (Chiguo) of the East, Virudhaka (Zengchang) of the South, Virupaksha (Guangmu) of the West, and Vaishravana (Duowen) of the North, defending the four heavens. Each cosmic directional god is portrayed as a military commander identified by their arms and armour.Virupaksha's feature is his divine eyes. His name in Chinese- Guangmu, means the expanded eyes, as he is known as the 'king who sees all'. In this present lot, this materialises as the attribute- a flaming pearl disc- held in his left hand. Normally the Guardian of the West also holds a naga rope, symbolising power, nobleness, and greatness. This heavenly guardian king is depicted in a wrathful state, which within Buddhist iconography implies expelling away evil energies.

She was given the collection of what appeared to be ornate Chinese embroidery and clothing items by a fellow member of the Guild. She gave the collection to her daughter-in-law, who is also a keen embroiderer, in the late 1990’s.An article was written on the Dragon Robe by a member of the Guild and included in their publication Embroiderers’ Guild Scottish Branches - The Digest 1996/1997, pp. 31 & 32. (A copy is enclosed).Note: Note: Government officials and members of the imperial court were entitled to wear dragon robes. Designs and colours were regulated by rank; for example, only the emperor, the heir apparent, empress, and empress dowager could wear yellow robes. Only the imperial family and high-ranking princes were allowed to wear robes with nine dragons. Only the upper echelons were allowed to wear dragons with five claws; the lower orders wore four-clawed dragons.The eight colourful dragons on the main body of the robe (five on the front, three on the back) are shown in different positions, such as front-facing and rising. The ninth dragon is hidden inside the flap.The designs on this robe were embroidered on top of a woven gauze fabric. This robe is made of gauze fabric that is like a very fine net, which allows air to circulate and keeps its wearer cool in warm weather. Most of the embroidery stitches are vertical and cover about two rows of the gauze weave.
