Lot 2133 | Chandi
Tibet. Frühes 20. Jahrhundert

Kupferbronze, partiell feuervergoldet und mit Kaltgold- und polychromer Bemalung sowie Steinbesatz. Die buddhistische Gottheit sitzend in padmasana auf einem doppelten Lotossockel. Charakteristisch für Chandi, oder auch Cundi Bodhisattva genannt, sind das dritte Auge und ihre achtzehn Arme, die entweder einen Gegenstand halten oder eine mudra formen. Auf ihrem Kopf befindet sich ein sitzender Buddha, denn sie wird auch als 'Mutter der sieben Millionen Buddha' bezeichnet. Die Figur umgibt eine grüne Mandorla, die aus floralen Elementen besteht, und über ihrem Haupt spannt sich ein goldener Schirm.

Die achtzehn Arme bzw. die Gegenstände und mudra symbolisieren je eine charakteristische Handlung eines erleuchteten Wesens. Zum Beispiel steht die Lotosblüte für die Reinigung der sechs Sinne, die rein sind wie der Lotos. Zudem stehen ihre achtzehn Arme sinnbildlich für die achtzehn Verdienste bei der Erlangung der Buddhaschaft.

Schirm und Mandorla sind abnehmbar. Sockel verschlossen. Gewicht 16,26kg, Höhe 53,3cm, Breite ca. 46cm. Zustand A/B.
