Lot 66
Der berühmte Dharmatala, Reisebegleiter der 16 Arhats auf ReisenTibet, frühes 17. Jh.68 x 50,5 cmFeine Malerei in Tempera, mit reichlich Gold, auf Baumwollgewebe. Diese bedeutende Malerei zeigt die Darstellung des Dharmatala als Begleiter der sechzehn Arhats unterwegs. In Theorie des tibetischen Buddhismus gilt er als Inkarnation des Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Dharmatala hat den Blick auf den in einer Wolke erscheinenden transzendenten Buddha Amitabha gerichtet. Da wilde Tiere die Schar der Weisen bedrohen, hat Dharmatala mit der Wunderkraft die einem Heiligen eigen ist, einen Tiger zum Schutz geschaffen, der an seiner Seite ruht und der andere Tiere fernhält. Die Kiepe mit den heiligen Büchern hat er während der Marschpause abgestellt. Er wird als freiwilliger, sich aufopfernder Diener der sechzehn Arhats aufgefaßt, der ihnen mit dem Yakhaarwedel Kühlung fächelt, sie aus der Wasserflasche erfrischt und ihnen auf der Rückentrage die Bücher trägt, die noch besonders durch einen Schirm geschützt sind. Er rastet auf einem Bein, das andere ist angebeugt, auf einer grünen Matte inmitten einer chinesischen Landschaft mit Hügeln, Bäumen und einem kleinen blauen See, aus dem aufgeblühte Päonienblüten emporsprießen. Er trägt seidene Kleider in verschiedenen Farben mit goldenen Blumenmustern, und die Bordüren seiner Gewänder sind mit feinen goldenen Ornamenten verziert. Einen kostbaren goldenen Mantel trägt er über seine Schultern gelegt, der mit einem orangefarbenen Tuch zusammengehalten wird und der gleichzeitig sein Büchergestell am Körper festhält. Die Dharmatala-Legende enthält Elemente aus dem Leben des Mönchs Xuanzang (ca. 602-664), der von 629 bis 645 Indien zu Fuß besuchte, um Kopien der heiligen Bücher aus dem Land ihres Ursprungs nach China zu holen. Sein Aufenthaltsort war zeitweilig in der großen Wildganspagode in Xi‘an. Auch er wird in der chinesischen Kunst stets mit der Büchertrage abgebildet. Im oberen Bereich erscheinen Buddhas die inschriftlich in goldenen Buchstaben benannt sind. Rechts von Dharmatala kniet Acala von weißer Körperfarbe, mit dem Schwert in seiner rechten Hand, links hält er ein Vajraseil. Im irdischen Bereich erscheinen prächtig in kostbare Gewänder gekleidet zwei der insgesamt vier Weltenhüter. Der kosmologischen Ordnung folgend herrscht der weiße Dhrtarashtra (l) im Osten. Als Attribut hält er eine Mandoline und ist Herr über die Gandharvas - das sind himmlische Musikanten. Vaishravana (r) ist der Beschützer des Nordens und von ikonographisch gelber Farbe. Hier sind beide Dharmaschützer, aus besonderer Wertschätzung, in goldener Farbe dargestellt. Man erkennt Vaishravana an der juwelenspeienden Ratte die er in seiner linken Hand hält. Des Weiteren hält er einen Ehrenschirm.Alte österreichische Privatsammlung, in den 1990er Jahren erworbenVgl.

The historic Great War Military Cross group of medals to Captain (Robert) Anthony Eden, King's Royal Rifle Corps, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1955 to 1957: Military Cross, George V; British War Medal 1914-20 (CAPT. R.A. EDEN), Victory Medal (CAPT. R. A. EDEN), Jubilee Medal 1935, Coronation Medal 1937, Coronation Medal 1953, the last three unnamed as issued; mounted for wearing and with tailor's copy MID emblem to the Victory Medal, good very fine or better; together with two mounted sets of corresponding dress miniatures, one pre and one post 1953. Best known as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1955-57, as a young man Robert Anthony Eden was involved in the formation of the 21st Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps (Yeoman Rifles) during the First World War. He was a member of Eton College Officer Training Corps, and the outbreak of the War had found him eager, like many of his generation, to find a place in a regiment. His brother Jack was killed in action in 1914, and this seems only to have quickened his enthusiasm. His initial efforts were hampered by poor eyesight, but his chance came when a family friend, the Earl of Feversham, set about raising the new battalion. Eden went with the Yeoman Rifles to the Western Front as a junior officer and his early exploits included an abortive trench raid following which he led the hazardous rescue of a dangerously wounded Sergeant. The battalion was deployed to the Somme front in September 1916 where its commander Lord Feversham was killed in action, and his replacement appointed the young Eden as his Adjutant, in which capacity he gave exemplary service. His M.C. was gazetted in June 1917, shortly before he went into action following the detonation of the mine under Messines Ridge at the start of the 3rd Battle of Ypres. All sources indicate that Eden was not only very brave; but that he was also compassionate and highly principled, with a deeply felt concern and respect for the men under his command. This courageous and intelligent officer went on to have a distinguished career in politics, becoming an opponent of appeasement during the 1930s, and then playing a vital role in Winston Churchill's cabinet during the Second World War. He served as Prime Minister between 1955 and 1957, and it is believed that this is the first time that the medals of a British Prime minister have been offered at auction.
