RARE ET IMPORTANTE TRIADE BOUDDHIQUE EN BRONZE DORÉ

CHINE, DYNASTIE MING, XVIÈME-XVIIÈME SIÈCLE

La triade est composée de trois Bouddha : Bhaisajyaguru (le Bouddha de la médecine) sur la gauche, Shakyamuni (le Bouddha éveillé) au centre et Amithaba (le Bouddha de la Lumière-Infinie) sur la droite. Ils sont représentés assis en vajrasana sur une base lotiforme reposant sur un socle quadrangulaire. Ils sont vêtus d'un dhoti ceinturé à la taille et d'une longue robe recouvrant leurs épaules bordée d'un galon à motifs floraux incisés. Leur poitrine est découverte. Ils sont empreints d'une expression sereine conférée par leurs yeux mi-clos et leur bouche souriante. Leur front est paré de l'urna et leurs cheveux coiffés en de petites boucles sont surmontés de l'ushnisha. Bhaisajyaguru tient dans sa main droite tendue vers l'avant le fruit mirobolant et sa main gauche est en dhyanamudra. Shakyamuni repose sa main droite en bhumisparshamudra sur son genou et présente sa main gauche en dhyanamudra. Amitabha rassemble ses mains en dhyanamudra. Elles présentent des traces de polychromie.

Hauteur des statues : 50 cm. (19 3/4 in.) et 50,5 cm. (19 7/8 in.) ; Hauteur totale : 78 cm. (30 3/4 in.)





Provenance

From the collection of a Belgian engineer who worked for the Belgian 'Compagnie de Tramways et d'Eclairage de Tientsin' from 1934 to 1938 in Tianjin, and thence by descent in the family.
