Heavily cast, standing in samabhanga on a double lotus pedestal with a beaded rim, incised with scrolling designs along the base. He is holding in a lotus stem in his right hand which curls up his arm opening to a large blossom supporting a kundika at his shoulder.

Finely incised, his curled secured by a foliat tiara and gathered in a tall, multi-tiered chignon surmounted by a lotus blossom.The presence of the kundika vase crowning the resplendent lotus flower by his left shoulder identifies this idealized young prince as the future Buddha Maitreya.

In Tibet, when represented as a Bodhisattva, he may be depicted standing or seated in European style with the feet resting on a small lotus throne. The princely appearance of this figure is one of the most popular manifestations of Maitreya.

It is held in a vertical or near-vertical position during performance, although in earlier times the instrument was held in a variety of ways including upside down and horizontally (like a guitar), and its twisted silk strings were plucked with a large triangular plectrum. Toward the end of the Tang dynasty, musicians began using their fingernails to execute the exuberant and programmatic repertory that was gaining popularity and eventually became the national style. To facilitate the use of the fingers, the instrument began to be held in a more upright position. Through time, the neck was raised and by the Qing Dynasty, the instrument was mostly played upright.Auction result comparison: Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's London, 21 June 2001, lot 96Price: GBP 4,935 or approx.

A LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF MAITREYA, PALA REVIVALTibet, late 19th to first half of 20th century. Heavily cast, standing in samabhanga on a double lotus pedestal with a beaded rim, incised with scrolling designs along the base. He is holding in a lotus stem in his right hand which curls up his arm opening to a large blossom supporting a kundika at his shoulder.

Finely incised, his curled secured by a foliat tiara and gathered in a tall, multi-tiered chignon surmounted by a lotus blossom.The presence of the kundika vase crowning the resplendent lotus flower by his left shoulder identifies this idealized young prince as the future Buddha Maitreya. Although equally vital to popular Buddhist practice, standing Maitreya images are relatively rare by comparison to more common bronzes of Avalokiteshvara Padmapani.Maitreya, also known as the Buddha of the Future, may be considered a Bodhisattva according to the sutras, or a Buddha according to the tantras. In Tibet, when represented as a Bodhisattva, he may be depicted standing or seated in European style with the feet resting on a small lotus throne. The princely appearance of this figure is one of the most popular manifestations of Maitreya.

Robert Rousset (1901-1982) was a former French radio officer in the merchant navy, who became one of the most prominent pioneers of the Chinese art market in Paris. As a child, his father, an insurance agent, would take him to Hôtel Drouot where he started to buy at a very young age. His true passion for Asian art started in the 1920s, when he was sent on a mission to Beijing after the decline of the Qing empire, along with Osvald Siren, the famous Swedish Asian art historian and connoisseur. He then became one of the main contributors of Chinese antiques for the Compagnie de la Chine et des Indes, founded in Paris in the early 20th century by the Blazy brothers. After the 1929 stock market crash, he had the opportunity to acquire the company. With his sister Suzanne in charge of the porcelain, they developed the business and became one of the most important dealers in France, selling pieces to the greatest museums, including the Musee Guimet and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
