TIBET, ATELIER TSANG, XVÈME SIÈCLE

Vajradhara, le Bouddha primordial, tient le vajra et la ghanta dans ses mains croisées en vajrahumkaramudra devant sa poitrine, symbolisant l'union sacrée de la sagesse et de la compassion. Il est représenté assis en vajrasana sur une double-base lotiforme, son corps vêtu d'une robe ornée de tiges fleuries finement incisées ceinturée à la taille, et d'une étole recouvrant ses épaules s'enroulant autour de ses bras. Ses yeux sont entrouverts sous de fins sourcils arqués et sa bouche est souriante, conférant à son visage une expression sereine. Son front est paré de l'urna et est ceint d'une large couronne à cinq feuilles représentant les Cinq Bouddhas.

Hauteur : 53 cm. (20 7/8 in.)





Provenance

Acquired in 1969 with Cserno Antique dealers, Amsterdam.





Literature

U. von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculpture in Tibet, vol. II, 2001, p. 1193, fig. 323B.
