Estimate value
€ 2 000 – 3 000
SEVENTEEN RITUAL CARDS WITH REPRESENTATIONS OF DEITIES FROM THE BARDO - Outer Mongolia, mid 19th c. - These rare and artistically particularly expressive depictions come from a set of approx. 100 ritual cards with images from the ritual according to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which is presented to the deceased, following the text, in order to familiarize him or her with the apparitions in the Bardo. The cards are from a set that belongs together, but the drawings have different authors. Depicted are deities in union with their respective wisdom partners, and wrathful single figures. Their faces are mostly fearsome, and their wildly ruffled hair is held together by diadems. They carry their specific weapons and attributes in their hands. All the deities are wrapped in their fire energy and stand on lotus bases with leaves pointing downwards. In some cases they stand with their moving legs on white moon discs and on orange sun discs. The iconography of the individual depictions requires more detailed analysis, as they often deviate from the usual depictions and can possibly be deduced from the inscription on the reverse. - From a South German private collection, acquired prior to 2007 - Partly minor traces of age and only few with small damages at the margins
ca. 10 x 8 cm
Papier, Pinselzeichnungen in Gouache, Rückseite: Inschriften in schwarzer Tusche. Diese seltenen und künstlerisch besonders ausdrucksvollen Darstellungen entstammen einem Satz von ca.100 Ritualkarten mit Darstellungen aus dem Ritual nach dem Tibetischen Totenbuch das dem Verstorbenen, dem Text folgend, vorgestellt wird um ihn mit den Erscheinungen im Bardo vertraut zu machen. Die Karten stammen aus einem zusammengehörigen Satz, die Zeichnungen haben jedoch unterschiedliche Urheber. Dargestellt sind Gottheiten in Vereinigung mit ihren jeweiligen Weisheitspartnerinnen, und zornvollen Einzeldarstellungen. Ihre Gesichter sind meist furchterregend, und Ihr wildgesträubtes Haar wird durch Diademe zusammen gehalten. Sie tragen ihre spezifischen Waffen und Attribute in ihren Händen. Alle Gottheiten sind gehüllt in ihre Feuerenergie und stehen auf Lotossockeln mit nach unten weisenden Blättern. Teilweise stehen sie mit ihren bewegten Beinen auf weißen Mond- und auf orangefarbenen Sonnenscheiben. Die Ikonographie der einzelnen Darstellungen bedarf ausführlicherer Analyse, da sie vielfach von den gängigen Darstellungen abweichen, und möglicherweise durch die rückseitige Inschrift erschlossen werden können.
