Lot 2117 | Shadakshari Lokeshvara
Estimate value
€ 6 000
Tibet. Wohl 18./19. Jahrhundert

Kupferbronze mit dunkler Patina und Vergoldung. Sitzend in padamasana auf einem doppelten Lotos. Die beiden Haupthände in anjali mudra zusammengelegt bergen ein Wunschjuwel, das für den Geist der Erleuchtung steht. In der erhobenen Rechten hielt er einst eine Gebetskette, mit der Linken hält er einen Lotus. Er trägt den siebenteiligen Bodhisattvaschmuck und eine hohe Krone, in der sich eine kleine Darstellung seines geistigen Vater, des Buddha Amithabha findet. Gesicht, Hände, Füße und der Lotosthron sind nicht vergoldet und bilden einen deutlichen farblichen Kontrast. Boden des Sockels verschlossen.

Diese Form des Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattva der Anteilnahme) verkörpert das bekannte mantra 'om mani padme hum'. Die sechs Silben entsprechen den sechs Bereichen der Existenz, deren Wesen er die Erleuchtung bringt. Dabei handelt es sich um die Bereiche der Götter, der Halbgötter, der Menschen, der Tiere, der Hungergeister und zuletzt der Hölle. Gewicht 1780g, Höhe 24,2cm, Breite 15,7cm. Zustand A/B.
