Lot 2109 | Überlebensgroßer Kopf des Drukpa Kunley
Tibet oder Nepal. 18. Jahrhundert

Kupferbronze in Repoussé mit Vergoldung und bemalt mit Pigmenten. Der beeindruckend große Kopf zeigt stilisierte, überbetonte Gesichtszüge und eine aufwendige Frisur. Der Kopf ist aus zwei Teilen zusammengesetzt. Die Ohren und der Haarknoten sind separat gearbeitet und angesetzt, wie auch der Standfuß, welcher den Ansatz der Schultern zeigt.

Der charakteristische Knebelbart lässt darauf schließen, dass es sich um ein Portrait von Drukpa Kunley handeln könnte. Dieser lebte 1455-1529 in Tibet und wurde unsterblich in der Erzähltradition in Bhutan als 'Heiliger Narr'. Die Geschichten vermitteln Belehrung durch unkonventionelles Verhalten und haben manchmal erotische Inhalte, die das Problem der körperlichen Begierden thematisieren. Höhe 54,2cm, Breite (Ohren) ca. 35cm, Tiefe ca. 30cm. Zustand A/B.
Provenienz:
-Laut Auskunft des Vorbesitzers aus der Sammlung von Barbara S. Adams (1931-2015), Gefährtin des nepalesischen Prinzen Basundhara (1921-77).
-Sammlung des Künstlers Robert Jacobsen (1912-93).
-Norddeutsche Privatsammlung, erworben in Kopenhagen.
