Lot 9
Ca. 618–907 AD. Chinese Tang Dynasty. A beautiful marble statue of a seated bodhisattva depicted wearing voluminous robes elegantly draped over his wide shoulders and broad, muscular chest and cascading in deep folds over his pendant legs, falling to the sides of his seat and continuing down his back; the remains of his right arm resting on one thigh. Bodhisattvas are common figures in Buddhist literature and art. A bodhisattva is one who seeks awakening (bodhi)—hence, an individual on the path to becoming a Buddha. Perhaps the most striking feature of this marble fragment is its realistic portrayal of a seated figure revealed beneath drapery. The remains of his developed pectoral muscles appear above his inner garment that crosses from his left shoulder downwards to the right hip. The voluminous outer garment spreads in unevenly spaced pleats and folds that suggest the natural effects of gravity as they fall across the arms, pendant legs and the front edge of the seat supporting him. Provenance: Roger Moss OBE 1936-2020 (formerly the President of“The Oriental Ceramics society); item was acquired during his life in Hong Kong 1980-2003. Size: L:(with stand) 575mm / W:320mm ; 30k+g
Lot 4
Ca. 300–400 AD. A seated figure of the Bodhisattva Maitreya, the Buddha who is believed to be incarnated in the future for the salvation of mankind. Carved from a fine grained grey chlorite-schist, the figure displays sensitive treatment of the carving, particularly in the details of the robes. The head is turned to the left and is crowned by an elaborate headdress composed of a turban with strings of jewels and a characteristic fan shaped piece gathered to the front. The face is expertly carved with a sensitive, slightly smiling mouth, heavy lidded eyes and a straight nose characteristic of Eastern Roman art, and a moustache more commonly associated with indian art. Between the eyes is an Urna, one of the symbols of a great being that depicts the third eye that enabled the Bodhisattva the ability to see past the mundane world of suffering. The ears are pierced and elongated from the heavy earrings commonly worn by aristocrats of India and Central Asia at the time. Behind the head is a large halo.The body is strongly proportioned and across the chest are three strands of necklaces, one running diagonally across the chest and strung with a series of amulet cases known as Kavacha. These amulets are still worn in India today, and they were popular in the Roman Empire, with examples depicted on the famous Faiyum mummy portraits from Egypt. The left hand rests on the knee, whist the right was originally held up to the face in the so-called “pensive” manner that is a characteristic of Maitreya images. The figure sits on a throne with lattice work panels, and on the seat is a large cushion. The right leg is slightly drawn up in the so-called “royal ease pose”. The throne in turn is supported by a lotus flower, with the petals rendered in exceptionally fine realism.Maitreya is believed to be the future Buddha, who currently resides in the Tushita heaven. As a Bodhisattva he has achieved enlightenment, but not entered Nirvana, instead choosing to help living creatures achieve enlightenment too. His name is derived from the Sanskrit word Maitri, meaning “friend” and this in turn may be derived from the Persian deity Mithras, also known as Mithra or Mitra, whose name also meant friend. Indeed, it is possible that the cult of Maitreya may have been influenced by the Persian deity as Central Asia and parts of India were ruled by the Persian Empire prior to its conquest by Alexander the Great. The pensive pose that Maitreya displays, represents him seated in the Tushita heaven contemplating the suffering of living beings, and waiting until the time when he can enter the world for its salvation. This future time is believed to be when the teachings of the Buddha have disappeared and mankind is living in extreme suffering. Maitreya will then be incarnated in the world to save all living beings.The treatment of the robes, jewellery and headdress show that he is represented as a noble of the time from Northern India and Central Asia, and it would have been members of the elite who would have dedicated these reliefs at monasteries and popular sites of pilgrimage. This would have been a meritorious act in the hope of a better rebirth. The practice of offering reliefs seems to have come from Greece and Rome, where it was one of the primary acts of devotion. The production of devotional images, such as this, probably began in the late second century AD. These images were produced for worship by both the laity and the monastic community, and their production coincides with a decline in the popularity of narrative panels, almost all of which illustrate the sacred biography of the Buddha. This shift has often been seen as marking a transition in Buddhist ideology from the earlier Hinayana school of teaching, which emphasized the veneration of relics, to later Mahayana practices centred on the veneration of images of Bodhisattvas and cosmic Buddhas.Compared to the art of peninsular India, Gandharan art can be described as more naturalistic, both in the rendering of the body and in the movement of the garments. The representations of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas were inspired by the representation of Hellenistic and Roman gods and aristocracy. One of the closest parallels of art from the time of the Roman Empire is that from Palmyra, which was a trading hub between India and the west. Here, the religious and funerary reliefs display close similarities in the rendering of the facial features and carving of the folds of the garments, and especially in the decorative elements, such as the jewellery, to those depicted on Gandharan pieces. This clearly demonstrates the close trading ties between the east and the west that resulted in the sharing of cultural motifs and styles. This was not something new however, as the grey chlorite-schist so popular for the creation of Gandharan sculpture, was employed millennia earlier in the production of vases and small sculpture from Mesopotamia, and which were exported across the Near East and the Indus Valley civilisations.The item was researched by Bret Gaunt. For a similar piece see The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia, accession number 7, 1997; Beguin, G. (2009). Buddhist Art. Bangkok: River Books, 212, fig. 23.

Lot 391
Ca. 200–300 AD. Roman. A beautiful gold ring with a hollow circular band, flared shoulders, and an ellipsoidal bezel inset with a carnelian stone depicting a left-facing profile bust of Fortuna (or Tyche) wearing a turreted crown and a scarf tied over her chignon. In Roman religion, Fortuna was the goddess of chance or lot who became identified with the Greek Tyche; the original Italian deity was probably regarded as the bearer of prosperity and increase. As such she resembles a fertility deity, hence her association with the bounty of the soil and the fruitfulness of women. Her iconography was known to the whole ancient classical world due, among other things, to the famous monumental statue of Tyche made for the city of Antioch by Eutychides of Sikyon in about 296 BC. In Italy, Fortuna was worshipped extensively from the earliest times. At Praeneste (near Rome) her shrine was a well-known oracular seat, as was her shrine at Antium. For a gem with a similar intaglio depicting Tyche sold at Christie's, see https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-5004613. To find out more about Roman jewellery production, see Higgins, R. (1980).
