RARE GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF VAJRAPANI
YONGLE MARK AND PERIOD (1360-1424)
Reign mark in kaishu "Da Ming Yongle Nian Shi"
China, Ming Dynasty, defeitos
The Bodhisattva seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base, the right hand held high in vajra mudra (gesture of knowledge) with the index and little finger pointing upward, holding the vajra, the left hand in vitarka mudra (gesture of discussion and transmission of Buddhist teaching). The Bodhisattva is wearing the dhoti and a celestial shawl embracing his shoulders, large round earings, the chest adorned with bejewelled necklaces, the arms and wrists with bracelets. The face showing compassion and serenity is surmounted by a diadem around a high chignon.
Height: 24,6 cm (9.7 in).
Estimate: € 80.000 - 120.000
The stylistic origin of Yongle gilt bronzes can be traced back to the Yuan dynasty, when the court espoused Vajrayâna Buddhism, the Tibetan form of Buddhism, at the end of the 13th century, when Qubilaï khan, the first Yuan emperor, gave a Tibetan lama of the Sakyapa tradition the spiritual authority over the whole empire.
Buddhism appeared in Tibet at the end of the 7th century, but its present form comes essentially from the second propagation of Buddhism in Tibet, during the 10th century, with the emergence of different teachings and traditions.
In Varjayâna Buddhism, Vajrapani can be considered as a manifestation of Akshobya, the head of the Vajra lineage, and one of the five main Buddhas. His main attribute is the vajra, which means in Sanskrit both thunderbolt (irresistible force) and diamond (indestructibility).
