Todas las subastas / Arte Antiguo / Himalayan culture – Western Himalayas a copper alloy of the bronze type
Rare crowned bodhisattva figure, probably Vajrapāṇi, in bronze, from the western Himalayan region and rooted in an archaizing tradition of Kashmiri-inspired character. 19th century, probably circa 1850–1875. The deity is depicted seated in lalitāsana, in a regal relaxed posture, before a substantial reticulated architectural back panel dominated by a broad lotus motif. The figure wears a crown, large earrings, necklaces and various body ornaments. The right hand holds against the chest an attribute that can be identified with high probability as a vajra. The left hand, resting at hip level, also holds a small oval- or ring-shaped element whose precise identification remains uncertain. For this reason, the identification as Vajrapāṇi is proposed with caution, not presented as absolutely certain. The sculpture shows an interesting dark-brown patina with golden nuances, with natural variations in coloration and wear on the salient parts, notably the face, torso, arms and legs. The reverse and interior preserve casting irregularities and a darker surface, consistent with traditional copper alloy fabrication. Very good overall condition, with aging wear consistent with age, small casting irregularities, light chips and a discreet old intervention on the reverse. Provenance: former Belgian private collection of R. M., assembled from 1979, the piece having been acquired between 1979 and 2009 from art dealers in Belgium or the Netherlands. Acquired in Belgium in 2025.
