Lot 2141 | Exquisite Figur des Chakrasamvara Heruka in yab-yum
Tibet/Nepal. 17. Jahrhundert oder früher.

Kupferbronze mit Resten von Vergoldung und kultischer Bemalung und Steinbesatz. Auf einem runden Lotossockel und vor einer ebenfalls runden flammenden Aureole stehend. Mit seiner Partnerin Vajrayogini in yab-yum und seine zwei Arme hinter ihren Rücken verschränkt. In der rechten Hand hält er einen vajra und in der linken eine gantha-Glocke, Vajrayogini mit Hackmesser und Schädelschale. Des Weiteren zeichnen ihn eine fünfteilige Schädelkrone und eine lange Kette mit abgeschlagenen Köpfen aus.

Die Figur hat trotz ihrer geringen Größe eine starke Ausdruckskraft. Sie ist meisterhaft gearbeitetet mit feinen Details. Die mehrlagigen Lotosblätter des Sockels und der ausgeprägte geperlte Rand spiegeln den nepalesischen Einfluss wider. Gewicht 278g, Höhe 10,5cm. Zustand A/B.
