STATUETTE D'AMITAYUS EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉATTRIBUÉ À SONAM GYALTSEN (A. XVE SIÈCLE), SHIGATSE, TIBET CENTRAL, VERS 1430-40Himalayan Art Resources item no. 16792 43 cm (17 in.) high Footnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF AMITAYUSATTRIBUTED TO SONAM GYALTSEN (A. 15TH CENTURY),SHIGATSE, CENTRAL TIBET, CIRCA 1430-40 日喀則 藏中 約1430-1440年 銅鎏金無量壽佛像 應為索南堅贊之作 Provenance:Sotheby's Parke-Bernet, New York, 23 May 1979, lot 85 Navin Kumar, New York A French Private Collection, Paris, acquired from the above on 31 August 1984 Christie's, Paris, 19 December 2012, lot 209 An Important Asian Private Collection Published: Ulrich von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p. 446, no. 121A.This magnificent gilt-bronze figure of Amitayus bears all the hallmarks of the exceptional master-craftsmanship of one of the greatest known artists in Tibet, active during the first half of the 15th century, namely, the master craftsman Sonam Gyaltsen. The attribution to Sonam Gyaltsen is demonstrated in the evident similarities to the gilt-copper alloy figure of Avalokiteshvara Sahasrabhuja Ekadasamukha, circa 1430, identified by inscription to have been made by Sonam Gyaltsen, which was sold at Bonhams, New York, 19 March 2018, lot 3033. These close similarities are manifest in the comparable facial features, the turquoise-inset jewelry, the incised decoration, and lotus lappets: Gyaltsen completes his bronze's lotus petals in the round with symmetrically curling plump inner corolla on top of swelled outer petals with pointed tips. Gyaltsen lightly engraves Amitayus' silks with auspicious symbols. He models Amitayus with slender physiognomy. The hair is distinctively arranged into a fringe of rounded curls before the crown. Gyaltsen apportions the jewelry with restraint, such that small turquoise settings brilliantly lead the eye over the body without distracting from its alluring suppleness. Lastly, in the handsome face, Gyaltsen elegantly captures the benevolent and restful essence of Amitayus. As noted in the inscription of the Sonam Gyaltsen Avalokiteshvara, the master craftsman had the patronage of the Rinpung dynasty and more specifically the third monarch, Norbu Zangpo (1403-66) who ruled between 1435 and 1466. The dynasty's seat of power was in Shigatse, Tsang Province in Central Tibet, and its rulers mostly patronized the Sakya order. This figure was created at the culmination of the foundation or enlargement of Jamchen Chode monastery near Shigatse, circa 1430. It is therefore possible that the present figure of Amitayus was also created as part of the project for the Jamchen monastery. While the Bonhams Avalokiteshvara remains the only known inscribed figure identified by inscription to be by Sonam Gyaltsen, it allows us to attribute other important sculptures in public and private collections to the great master. Compare with images of Guhyamanjuvajra and Vajrabhairava in the Rietberg Museum, Zurich (Uhlig, On the Path to Enlightenment, 1995, pp. 170-1, nos. 113 & 114), which closely match the present sculpture's lotus petals, rich gilding, and densely encrusted jewelry. Also see an image of White Tara wearing a similar peaceful expression and cloud-collar over her shoulders (HAR 21448).

STATUETTE DU BOUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET OU NÉPAL, XIIIE/XIVE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4888 12.7 cm (5 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHATIBET OR NEPAL, 13TH/14TH CENTURY西藏或尼泊爾 十三/十四世紀 銅鎏金釋迦牟尼像 Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sWith downward casting eyes in deep meditation and his right hand extended forward in the earth-witnessing gesture (bhumisparsha mudra), this gilt bronze of the Buddha Shakyamuni illustrates the seminal moment of his enlightenment and subsequent triumph over the demon king Mara at Bodh Gaya. In this unique sculpture, the artist cleverly alludes to Shakyamuni's immovable and unbreakable force of will by adding a cushion—or adamantine seat (vajrasana)—inset with semi-precious gemstones cut into the shape of diamonds. Decoration of this type comes from northeast Indian bronzes during the Pala period, with inset patterns comparable to a group of 10th century Tathagatas in the Beijing Palace Museum, published in The Light of the Buddha: Buddhist Sculptures of the Palace Museum and Zhiguan Museum of Fine Art, 2019, pp.168-185, nos. 35-39), as well as another set of four Tathagathas in the Potala Palace, published in von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, Vol. I, 2001, pp. 250-9, nos. 78-81). This decoration also appears on the crown band of the Nepalese Tara from the Zimmerman Family Collection, sold at Bonhams, New York, 21 March 2023, lot 513. This awareness of Indian motifs, in addition to the Buddha's wide forehead, broad upper torso, and a fitting to attach a prabhamandala behind the base reflects the skilled hand of a Newari craftsmen from the Early Malla period (1200-1482). However, the Buddha's relatively taller ushnisha topped by a wish-granting jewel (chintamani), the lack of wear to the gilding, and the preference for lapis lazuli and turquoise insets indicate that this bronze was made with a Tibetan patron in mind. As such, given the merging of Indian, Nepalese, and Tibetan styles, it is appropriate to assign this bronze to a Nepalese workshop in Tibet, considering the present lot's striking physique and physiognomy to that of a crowned Buddha image from the Philip Goldman Collection, sold at Sotheby's, New York, 21 March 2002, lot 50. Furthermore, the delicately incised treatment given to each individual lotus petal indicates a possible attribution to Densatil monastery, which was known for incorporating both Indian and Nepalese decorative elements into their lavishly inset gilt bronzes. If so, the figure's smaller scale suggests that it was placed within a private chapel and was made for a high-ranking lama as their personal image. See a Densatil image of Vajravidarana that shares this lotus petal type from the Claude de Marteau Collection, Part I, sold at Bonhams, Paris, 4 October 2022, lot 11.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

STATUETTE DE VIRUPA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, XVE/XVIE SIÈCLEInscribed in Tibetan along the rim of the base with dpal bi ru pa la na ma; 'Homage to the Honorable Virupa'.Himalayan Art Resources item no. 4804 13.6 cm (5 3/8 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF VIRUPATIBET, 15TH/16TH CENTURY西藏 十五/十六世紀 銅鎏金毘魯巴像Published: Jan van Alphen, Cast for Eternity, Antwerp, 2003, p. 209, no. 71. Exhibited: Cast for Eternity, Antwerp Ethnographic Museum, Belgium, 12 April 2005 - 26 June 2005. Provenance: With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sThis Tibetan sculpture pays homage to one of the great luminaries of Indian Buddhism, the c. 9th-century Buddhist master, Virupa. Like other mahasiddhas (great adepts) of the medieval period, Virupa spent years in formal Buddhist training before withdrawing from monastic life to follow his own path. He is credited with a hyper-efficient meditative practice known as lamdre ('The Path with the Result'), which was later introduced to Tibet by the Indian teacher Gayadhara (d. 1103) and became a central tantric tradition within the Sakya school. Famed both for his exceptional wisdom and his wild ways, the iconography of this image is rooted in a famous episode from Virupa's life when, pointing his finger at the sun, he stopped its rotation in order to avoid paying his bar tab. (See the same iconography in another image of Virupa of about the same period, previously in the Nyingjei Lam Collection, sold at Bonhams, Hong Kong, 7 October 2019, lot 802.)Formerly an abbot of Nalanda, Virupa received the 'Path', which is based mainly on the Hevajra Tantra, from the deity Vajra Nairatmya after giving up on decades of unsuccessful attempts at the Chakrasamvara Tantra. His subsequent rituals cost him his affiliation, as other members of the monastic hierarchy frowned upon his use of meat and alcohol. Banished from Nalanda, he wandered as a yogin, performing a number of miracles.In this 15th-to-16th-century work, the saint holds his left index finger to the sun while supporting himself with the left hand pressed behind him on a lotus seat covered with an antelope skin. Works showing the saint in this posture, full bodied, lounging with a gana-like effect are less frequently depicted, though these characteristics are shared by another Virupa published in Amy Heller, Tibetan Art, 1999, p. 164, no. 89. A Buddhist manuscript is folded into his chignon, and a floral garland falls around the shoulders, down the torso, and to his feet. A meditation strap—recalling his many hours in meditation—encircles his wide girth and the left shin. The figure is richly gilded and inset with turquoise stones. The face is painted gold and the lips, eyes, and eyebrows are likewise painted in the Tibetan manner, imparting a life-like appearance. The figure sits on a distinctive double lotus base with broad, rounded petals. An inscription and a delicately beaded border line the lower rim. Identical bases are shared by a set of six Sakya lamdre masters which sold at Bonhams, New York, 14 March 2017, lot 3262. In addition, two other portraits from the set, one of Damarupa (c.9th century) and the other of Chogyal Phagpa Lodro Gyaltsen (1235-80), are held in the Museum der Kulturen, Basel, published in von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, 1981, pp. 456-7, nos. 126F-G. The present Virupa very likely belongs to this set also.A baseplate, secured by a rim beneath the seat, bears a double thunderbolt (visvavajra) design similar to that on a c. 15th century Milarepa sculpture from the Nyingjei Lam Collection sold at Sotheby's, New York, 21 March, 2023, lot 108.Bonhams would like to thank Jane Casey for her assistance in preparing this lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
