- Lot Description
Central Asia, Tibet, ca. 19th to mid 20th century CE. A wonderous hand-carved wooden panel featuring two cross legged meditating monks or bodhisattvas. The panel is relief carved and features a lower register of clefts and petite star shapes along the bottom. Above are the two figures, garbed in kasaya robes that cover one shoulder and arm. Their hands form the abhayamudra gesture that symbolizes fearlessness. Both have simple, serene faces and elongated ears. While it may be unintentional, the protruding register seems to create a ground to center the figures; however, the figures are positioned too high and have the appearance of levitation. The Buddha is known for his miraculous flight while seated cross legged. Levitation is also a powerful "side effect" when legendary monks or bodhisattvas reach inner realization or enlightenment. This hovering seen here may be simply a matter of perspective, but is an interesting interpretation of the figure’s spacing. The wood has a developed a lovely dark patina that enhances the mystical energy of this carving. Size: 8" L x 1" W x 8" H (20.3 cm x 2.5 cm x 20.3 cm)
