A BRONZE FIGURE OF A BUDDHA, CHINA, FIVE DYNASTIES - NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (907-1126)Expert's note: The closely related buddha, listed below in the auction result comparison and published in Saburo Matsubara's book Chogoku Bukkyo Chokokushi Kenkyu (History Chinese Buddhist Sculpture), Tokyo, 1961, holds unique similarities to the present figure. For one, the hair of both Buddha curl in an identical manner around the central ushnisha, which is slightly recessed. The robes also are configured similarly, tied at the waist in a similar pattern and folding below the feet in a near identical fashion. This comparison places the present figure firmly within the 10th century.Finely cast seated in dhyanasana, his left hand raised in a rare mudra with the ring finger bent and the others extended, his right hand resting on his knee. He is wearing loose-fitting robes opening at the chest. His serene face with heavy-lidded eyes below arched brows as well as full lips flanked by long pendulous earlobes. His hair arranged in deeply incised wavy locks over the high ushnisha.Provenance: From the private collection of Michael Phillips, acquired through the Japanese trade. Michael Phillips (born 1943) is an Academy Award-winning film producer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, his parents were Lawrence and Shirley Phillips, noted New York dealers in Asian fine art, selling to the Met, the LACMA, the Chicago Art Institute, and the British Museum among others. Michael Phillips is a collector of Asian art himself, particularly Indian, Southeast Asian, and Himalayan sculpture. His most important films include The Sting (winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1973), Taxi Driver (winning the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival), and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, showing expected old wear overall. Signs of weathering and erosion, remnants of gilding, small nicks here and there. The naturally grown dark patina with cuprite and malachite encrustations. Aureole and lotus base (see auction result comparison below) are lost.Weight: 185 g Dimensions: 8.2 cm This figure may belong to a group of Buddhist votive figures produced in Zhejiang during the Wuyue kingdom (AD 907-978), four of which are illustrated in Comprehensive Illustrated Catalogue of Chinese Buddhist Statues in Overseas Collections, vol. 6, Beijing, 2005, pls. 1234-37: one in the Seikado Bunko Art Museum, Japan (pl. 1234); two in the Harvard University Art Museum, Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Cambridge, (pls. 1235 and 1236); and one in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, pl. 1237; all dated to the 10th century. Of these four, only the figure in the Seikado Bunko Art Museum represents Buddha, while the other three represent bodhisattvas. All of these figures, including the present lot, have similar, distinctive facial features.The bodhisattva in The Metropolitan Museum of Art is also illustrated by D. Leidy and D. Strahan in Wisdom Embodied: Chinese Buddhist and Daoist Sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2010, p. 110-12, no. 22, where the authors ascribe the figure to Zhejiang province, which during the 10th century was the center of the Wuyue kingdom (AD 907-978). They note that the "kingdom was ruled by members of the Qian family, noted for their devotion to Buddhism and their patronage of the arts".Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 14 September 2017, lot 838 Price: USD 468,500 or approx.

A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF AVALOKITESHVARA, LIAO DYNASTY, CHINA, 907-1125Two Scientific Analysis Reports: A technical examination was conducted by Podany Conservation Services, LLC, Los Angeles. The report concludes: “The bronze casting (Figure 1) exhibits no clear evidence of modern origin/manufacture." A copy of the signed examination report, dated 4 March 2021, accompanies this lot. A metal alloy analysis was conducted by Antiques Analytics, Institute for Scientific Authenticity Testing, Dr. Robert Neunteufel, Germany. The report concludes: “The results of the metal analysis are not in contradiction to a manufacture within the Liao Dynasty." A copy of the signed examination report, dated 19 May 2023, accompanies this lot.Superbly cast, seated on a lotus pedestal atop a stepped lobed base, the right hand held in vitarka mudra and the left in avakasha mudra, the bodhisattva clad in cascading loose robes falling in voluminous folds. The serene face with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes and lips rendered in a gentle smile, flanked by a pair of pendulous earlobes, all below an elaborate headdress with an incised miniature Amitabha enclosing a high chignon with tresses falling on the shoulders.Provenance: From the collection of Michael Phillips (*1943), the Academy Award-winning film producer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, his parents were Lawrence and Shirley Phillips, noted New York dealers in Asian fine art, selling to the Met, the LACMA, the Chicago Art Institute, and the British Museum among others.

Small dents and losses, shallow surface scratches, a very minor old repair to the back. Naturally grown patina overall, with some distinct and solid malachite encrustations. To the base, a small hole drilled for metal sampling.Weight: 744.1 gDimensions: 18.4 cm Avalokiteshvara is the successor of Buddha Amitabha and will continue to deliver living beings from sufferings when Amitabha attains nirvana. The crown with the miniature Amitabha, like the one shown here, is a key feature of Avalokiteshvara iconography.This free-seated image is an example of classic Liao style, and the modeling of the body is voluminous. The figure has an oval face, refined features, and a solemn expression. The hair, crown, and jewelry are rich with minute detailing. Sumptuous attire and a lotus throne with thick petals are often seen in Liao dynasty statutes. The torso is elongated, and the meandering design of the drapery forms linear patterns.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related smaller figure of Avalokiteshvara in the Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, dated to the Liao dynasty, accession no.

A SILVER-INLAID BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA VAIROCANA, SWAT-VALLEY, 7TH-8TH CENTURYScientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 1 September 2020, based on sample number N120d91, confirms the object is “consistent with the suggested period of manufacture." A copy of the report, issued by Oxford Authentication, accompanies this lot.Depicted in the sambhogakaya form, Vairocana holds his hands in the bodhyagrimudra while sitting atop a pedestal supported by two anthropomorphic Buddhist lions. The lions have humanized faces, silver-inlaid eyes, snail-curled hair, and are standing atop a lotus base. The Vairocana wears an ornate crown, tied on both sides with ribbons which drape down around his arms and hang from the pedestal. His face is serene, set with almond-shaped eyes with silver inlays to the pupils and central urna. The back with a tang for attachment to a temple structure.Provenance: From the private collection of Michael Phillips. Michael Phillips (born 1943) is an Academy Award-winning film producer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, his parents were Lawrence and Shirley Phillips, noted New York dealers in Asian fine art, selling to the Met, the LACMA, the Chicago Art Institute, and the British Museum among others. Michael Phillips is a collector of Asian art himself, particularly Indian, Southeast Asian, and Himalayan sculpture. His most important films include The Sting (winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1973), Taxi Driver (winning the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival), and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Expected signs of wear, corrosion and weathering with only small remnants of gilt remaining. The naturally grown patina has distinct malachite and cuprite encrustations and was at some point coated with a layer of varnish or wax for conservation purposes. Some losses, dents and scattered nicks.Weight: 3,090 g Dimensions: Height 26.3 cm The Swat Valley is located along the upper stream of the Indus in the heartland of the Gandhara region. It was a melting pot of various people and arts and served as a link between India and Central Asia and further eastwards for a constant flow of Buddhist pilgrims. The earlier Gandhara style is still echoed in the art of many icons of the Swat Valley, as visible in the present example. The Buddha's parallel folds as well as the protuberance on top of his head can be traced back to Gandhara Buddha figures. However, the V-shaped pleats around his neck are associated with Kashmiri prototypes, as is the use of silver inlay. His face reflects a Gupta idiom, with its small mouth and incised eyebrows. The lotus base on which he sits is typical for Swat Valley images. Thus, this fine bronze Buddha figure perfectly embodies the aforementioned melting pot of various styles.The iconography of the crowned Buddha Vairocana has been a subject of dispute amongst scholars due to the lack of clear lines of interpretation within the imagery. Many conclude the crown is intended to denote Sakyamuni as a cakravartin or universal Buddha while some suggest it represents a sambhogakaya Buddha in Mahayana Buddhism. In her 2018 article Images of the Crowned Buddha along the Silk Road, Rebecca Twist examines the iconography of Silk Road crowned Buddhas and concludes the recurring evidence points to the crowned Buddha as sambhogakaya as an early esoteric meditational construct. Many of the Buddha Vairocana that Twist examines are closely related to the present lot. According to Twist, these similar figures which appear from various locations along the Silk Road “demonstrate a systematic form of transmission and religious syncretism in both iconography and ideology." The present lot is a part of the clear pattern of deliberate core iconographic elements which recur in crowned Buddha Vairocana figures along the Silk Road. These elements included the sambhogakaya form, the embodiment of dharmakaya, the bodhyagrimudra, and the similarly styled crown.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams New York, 16 March 2021, lot 306 Price: USD 50,312 or approx.

A FINE PAINTING OF A BODHISATTVA OF THE DIAMOND REALM, TABO STYLE, 10TH CENTURYExpert's note: The present lot was once a part of an illuminated manuscript, likely from a Prajnaparamita sutra. This has been confirmed by Tibetologist Dr. Amy Heller, who points towards several comparable works, all dating from the 10th century, and all originating from related manuscripts from this region.To receive a PDF copy of this dossier, please refer to the department. Northern India, Himachal Pradesh. Watercolors and ink on paper. Depicting a Mahabodhisattva seated in dhyanasana upon a cushioned lotus-petaled throne with the hands held in dharmachakra mudra, the palms and soles stained red, wearing a five-pointed crown, and adorned with elaborate jewelry. The figure with an hour-glass shaped torso, surrounded by flowing celestial scarves, and backed by a flaming halo. Provenance: From the collection of Michael Phillips. Michael Phillips (born 1943) is an Academy Award-winning film producer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, his parents were Lawrence and Shirley Phillips, noted New York dealers in Asian fine art, selling to the Met, the LACMA, the Chicago Art Institute, and the British Museum among others. Michael Phillips is a collector of Asian art himself, particularly Indian, Southeast Asian, and Himalayan sculpture. His most important films include The Sting (winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1973), Taxi Driver (winning the Palme D'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival), and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, loss to margins, soiling, minimal fading to colors, small tears to edges.Scientific Analysis Report: An “Initial Condition Survey" with a microscopic and UV-light examination was conducted by Podany Conservation Services, USA. The examination report concludes: “Given the lack of modern materials there appears to be no clear evidence that this object is an intentional modern forgery or copy." A copy of the signed examination report, dated 18 May 2021, accompanies this lot.Dimensions: Image size 17.3 x 16.4 cm, Size incl. frame 34 x 33.8 cm Framed behind glass. (2) Constructed in 996, the Tabo Monastery was built by the Buddhist king Yeshe-OE (c. 959-1040), who was a descendant of ancient Tibetan nobility that expanded into the Spiti Valley when connecting trade routes between Ladakh and Mustang. The monastery was part of the dynasty's successful political effort to reintroduce Mahayana Buddhism throughout the region, and thus was once richly decorated with paintings and sculptures. While some of the monastery's paintings date to around 1040, we know that there have been restoration campaigns over the centuries. Prajnaparamita refers to an enlightened means of seeing the nature of reality and it is part of the Mahayana scriptures or sutras which discusses this form of transcendental knowledge. It consists of several sutra, the earliest of which is the Aṣṭasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra or 'Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines.' The Prajnaparamita sutras were first brought to Tibet during the reign of Trisong Detsen (742-796) by scholars Jinamitra and Silendrabodhi and the translator Ye shes De. A key theme of the Prajnaparamita sutras is the Bodhisattva, the 'awakening-being,' which is defined in the 8,000-line Prajnaparamita sutra as, “One who trains in all dharmas without obstruction, and knows all dharmas as they really are." The paintings which illuminate these manuscripts had a meditative purpose, delivering illumination through the images. Literature comparison: Compare a related 11th century wall painting in the assembly hall of the Tabo Monastery in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The two paintings are so similar that the present lot possibly served as an inspiration for the Tabo Monastery painting. Compare several paintings of bodhisattvas inside Tabo Monastery, depicted within identical roundels and with similar iconography.

A GILT-BRONZE VOTIVE PLAQUE DEPICTING THE MAITREYA, JIN DYNASTY, CHINA, 5TH CENTURYScientific Analysis Reports: 1.A technical examination was conducted by Podany Conservation Services, USA. The examination report concludes: “The characteristics observed by visual examination only of the corrosion patina and the encrustation, as well as the relationship between them and the base metal, as well as the remains of gilding and pigment suggest that the object is ancient." A copy of the signed examination report, dated 15 May 2021, accompanies this lot. 2.A scientific and technical examination was conducted by John Twilley, art conservation scientist. The report concludes that “The results of these tests show that the disk retains its as-cast microstructure and consists of a simple leaded tin bronze…Considering two likely origins, Korea or China, Buddhist sculptures from Korea have been noted to often be cast from unalloyed copper or leaded copper with minimal tin content, making a Korean origin somewhat less likely for the disk." A copy of the examination report, dated 29 December 2021, accompanies this lot. 3.An expert report was conducted by Antiques Analytics at the Institute for Scientific Authenticity Testing, Professor Robert Neunteufel. The examination concluded, “The results of the metal analysis are not in contradiction to a manufacture within the 5th" A signed copy of the report, dated 19 May 2023, accompanies this lot.The circular plaque is molded with a central Buddha Maitreya, seated on a lotus in dhyanasana with his hands raised in the abhayamudra and flanked by a flaming mandorla. The robed buddha is surrounded by a pair of acolytes at his feet, bodhisattva to his left and right, and two apsara flying above him. The surrounding figures are accompanied by two small rosettes and scrolling clouds. The remnants of three iron nail heads remain along the rim of the plaque.Provenance: From the private collection of Michael Phillips. Michael Phillips (born 1943) is an Academy Award-winning film producer. Born in Brooklyn, New York, his parents were Lawrence and Shirley Phillips, noted New York dealers in Asian fine arts, selling to the Met, the LACMA, the Chicago Art Institute, and the British Museum among others.

His most important films include The Sting (winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1973), Taxi Driver (winning the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival), and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Expected signs of weathering and erosion, soiling, flaking, dents, losses from corrosion, casting irregularities, remnants of red pigment, and loss to the gilding. The naturally grown patina has vibrant malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 5,030 gDimension: Diameter 41.3 cmMaitreya, also known as the Buddha of the Future, may be considered as 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, as in the present lot. The princely seated appearance of the figure, as in the present lot, is one of the most popular manifestations of Maitreya.Merchants trading in Silk Road goods, South and Central Asian Buddhist proselytizers, and pilgrims who had traveled to India to study Buddhism at its source brought countless paintings, scriptures, and small bronze sculptures and plaques to China and Tibet. These later served as the inspirations for works commissioned by local patrons. Few early Chinese and Tibetan bronze plaques survive, as later generations melted them down to make coins, weapons, or new icons.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related plaque depicting Maitreya surrounded by acolytes, bodhisattva, and apsaras, 17.2 cm high, dated to 460 AD through an inscription left by the devotee Faliang, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, accession number B60B643. Compare a later related plaque depicting Maitreya similarly surrounded by acolytes, bodhisattva, and apsaras, 15.2 cm high, dated to the Sui dynasty (518-618), in the Harvard Art Museums, accession number 1943.53.74.13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer's premium - only for buyers within the EU. 晉代銅鎏金彌勒佛鎏金銅許願牌由于平台拍品叙述的长度限制，我们移除了中文叙述，完整中文叙述请至www.zacke.at查看
