- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Iran / Persia, Kashan, ca. 12th to 14th century CE. A beautiful cast-bronze pendant of a broad semicircular form with a pair of foot-shaped impressions shown on the front as well as a series of partial concentric circles and a set of parallel lines on the verso. The petite bronze plaque is tightly set within a form-fitting framework of 79% gold (equivalent to 18K+) with a stippled peripheral border and an attached drop-form suspension loop embellished with dozens of spherical gold granules. Buddhist symbolism was quite prevalent throughout the Persian Empire despite strong Islamic presence and perpetuated the religion throughout the ancient Near East. Footprints like these are highly symbolic of Buddha's earthen origins and his eventual ascension to enlightenment. It is a reminder to his followers to practice the patience and spiritual fortitude necessary for facing any of life's challenges. Size: 1.4" W x 1.5" H (3.6 cm x 3.8 cm); quality of gold: 79% (equivalent to 18K+); total weight: 14.8 grams.
Provenance: ex-private Canoga Park, California, USA collection; ex-private New York, USA collection; ex-private German collection, acquired around 1989
