Tibet. Ca. 16./17. Jahrhundert

Figur: Kupferbronze gegossen, Vergoldung und feine Pigmentbemalung. Sockel in Repoussé, vergoldet. Das gut gestaltete Antlitz zeigt ein feines Lächeln und Reste der detailreichen Bemalung, besonders am linken Auge. Die Hände in Herzhöhe hält der in einer gespiegelten Version der bodyangi mudra, welche die Vereinigung von Gegensätzen symbolisiert. Das kasaya-Gewand ist über die linke Schulter und den Arm sowie vor den Füßen in elegante Falten gelegt. Der Lotosockel ist unterseitig verschlossen. Bei der radiologischen Untersuchung wurde deutlich, dass sich im Sockel kleinere, rundliche Formen befinden, bei denen es sich wohl um Getreide, evtl. um Gerste handelt.

Seine Handhaltung ähnelt der Lehrgeste, weil er auch als großer Lehrer gilt. Höhe 25cm, Breite 14cm, Tiefe 11,5cm. Zustand A/B. Mehrere alte Reparaturen unter der Vergoldung sichtbar.
Provenienz:
-Privatsammlung Süddeutschland, bereits in den 1960er/70er Jahren erworben.
