- Lot Description
Central Asia, Nepal, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A gilt brass depiction of the White Jambhala, an aspect of compassion of the bodhisattva Chenrezig. The deity sits with bent legs atop the back of a grand dragon holding a golden treasure in one claw and wears an opulent crown atop his polychrome pained face. The lotus-form base is bedecked with a border of gilt ovoid panels beneath a stack of additional golden treasures and a gilt mongoose on one side, and the hollow base is covered with a thin brass panel inscribed with an ornate flower. Size: 5.9" W x 7.375" H (15 cm x 18.7 cm)
Given the presence of the seal, this statue was likely created for religious practices. When such figures are consecrated, the image is first purified in order to be deemed suitable for the inhabitance of Buddha or another deity. Then the statue is invested with the presence and power of that deity. Unless it has been consecrated, a statue is not considered suitable for use in religious practices. Holy articles are traditionally sealed inside.
Provenance: private Los Angeles, California, USA collection, acquired in the 1980s to 2000s
