STATUETTE DU SEPTIÈME KARMAPA, CHODRAG GYATSO, EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, XVIE/DÉBUT XVIIE SIÈCLEA Tibetan inscription at the back of the base: རྟོག་གེའི་ཀླད་འགེམས་ཆོས་གྲགས་རྒྱ་མཚོའི་ཞབས། Translated: 'Through reasoning confounding [others], to Chodrag Gyastso, I bow!' Himalayan Art Resources item no. 1824 16.8 cm (6 5/8 in.) high Footnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF THE SEVENTH KARMAPA, CHODRAG GYATSO TIBET, 16TH/EARLY 17TH CENTURY Published Meinrad Maria Grewenig & Eberhard Rist (eds), Buddha: 2000 Years of Buddhist Art, 232 Masterpieces, Völklingen, 2016, p. 474, no. 210. Exhibited Buddha: 2000 Years of Buddhist Art, 232 Masterpieces, Völklingen, 24 June 2016 —19 February 2017. Provenance Private European Collection Representing the Seventh Karmapa, Chodrag Gyatso (1454–1506), this figure holds the mudra indicative of one's bodhisattva commitment. The Karmapa wears the black hat emblematic of his office as the leader of the Karma Kagyu order. A great deal of attention has been given to Chodrag Gyatso's robes, which are embellished with incised floral and cloud patterns, and an impressively weighted outer cloak which hangs off the back of the lama's shoulders, illuminating a thick hem with circular medallions and vertical pleats. By the 13th century, religious communities in Tibet sought to create patterns of succession whereby charismatic leaders would transfer their office and wealth to the next generation, thus maintaining firm economic, social, and political foundations for their institutions. The Karma Kagyu may have been the first to initiate a mode of institutional succession based on reincarnation. This ensured political continuity and eliminated the debilitating sibling rivalry that inevitably plagued biological succession. Ultimately, this facilitated a, 'transition from charisma of person to a charisma of office' (T.V. Wylie, 'Reincarnation: A Political Innovation in Tibetan Buddhism', Proceedings of the Coma de Koros Memorial Symposium, ed. Louis Ligeti, Budapest, 1978: 579-86, p. 584). The figure's softly portrayed facial features parallel others from the Kagyu tradition of the same period including examples of the First and Sixth Shamarpa (Bonhams, Hong Kong, 5 October 2020, lots 15 and 18), the Fourth Shamarpa from the Claude de Marteau Collection (Bonhams, Paris, 12 June 2023, lot 35), and one of an identified Karmapa (Bonhams, Hong Kong, 30 November 2022, lot 1029).銅鎏金七世噶瑪巴確札嘉措像西藏 十六世紀/十七世紀早期著錄Meinrad Maria Grewenig 及 Eberhard Rist 編,《Buddha:2000 Years of Buddhist Art,232 Masterpieces》,弗爾克林根,2016年,頁474,編號210展覽「Buddha:2000 Years of Buddhist Art,232 Masterpieces」,弗爾克林根,2016年6月24日至2017年2月19日來源歐洲私人珍藏此尊莊嚴而寧靜的造像呈現七世噶瑪巴確札嘉措(1454–1506),其手印獨特,表徵菩薩之發願。噶瑪巴戴黑帽,象徵其為噶瑪噶舉內之領袖地位。確札嘉措之袍服在此得到極為細緻呈現,刻以精巧花樣以及雲紋。而自其背後可見一件頗為厚重之垂落於肩下,寬大衣領上刻團紋,並表現以垂直褶皺,十分富麗。至十三世紀,西藏的宗教社群尋求創建一種繼承模式,使得卓有聲望之領袖得以將其職位與財富交予下一代,從而穩固其體系之堅實的經濟、社會與政治基礎。噶瑪噶舉或許是第一個以轉世為基礎而建立傳承模式之派系。此舉確保了政治之連續性,並消除了血緣繼承所不可避免的手足相憎、相殘。最終,這促成了一種「將人之個體魅力轉化為一個傳承所固有之魅力」(見T.V. Wylie,〈Reincarnation:A Political Innovation in Tibetan Buddhism〉,《Proceedings of the Coma de Koros Memorial Symposium》,Louis Ligeti 編,布達佩斯,1978年,頁584)。造像所呈現的柔和的面部特徵,與同一時期噶舉傳承中的其他造像十分相似,例如一世及六世夏瑪巴像(邦瀚斯,香港,2020年10月5日,拍品15及18),來自克勞德 · 德 · 馬圖收藏之四世夏瑪巴像(邦瀚斯,巴黎,2023年6月12日,拍品35),以及另一尊身份未定之噶瑪巴像(邦瀚斯,香港,2022年11月30日,拍品1029)。Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.

STATUETTE DU QUATRIÈME SAKYA TRIDZIN, SONAM TSEMO, EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, XVIE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 1825 13 cm (5 1/8 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF THE FOURTH SAKYA TRIDZIN, SONAM TSEMO TIBET, 16TH CENTURY Provenance Sotheby's, New York, before 1976 Sonam Tsemo (1142-82) held office as Sakya monastery's 'throne-holder' (Sakya Tridzin) for only three short years before passing it to his younger brother so that he could devote his life to unencumbered study. He never married or fathered children, preferring the life of a retreatant, yet Sonam Tsemo remained a lay practitioner, indicated by his long-sleeved cloak. Revered for his scholasticism as the Sakya's Second Founding Patriarch (Jetsun Gongma Nga), his foundational texts include a commentary on the Bodhicharyavatara by Shantideva, explanations on the final two chapters of the Hevajra root tantra, instructions for reading Sanskrit, and Door to the Dharma, a text giving an overview of all of the Buddha's teachings. Portraits of Sonam Tsemo, like the present lot, often show him wearing finely ornamented robes, with curled locks and a gentle countenance. Two further bronzes, and a painting of the master with his younger brother, Dragpa Gyaltsen, depict him similarly (HAR 7835; Bonhams, New York, 21 March 2023, lot 521; and Museum of Fine Arts Boston, 67.831, respectively). In all three sculptural examples, his cloak features a cloud-collar, a Chinese motif with connotations of heavenly authority. The cloud-collar was adopted by the Sakya, who enjoyed administrative rule of Tibet under Mongol hegemony during the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368). The imperial support of Sonam Tsemo's noble line shows further articulation in the engraved saptaratna ('seven jewels'), the insignia of a chakravartin, or divine ruler. The intricately chased robe and the inscribed visvavajra on the sculpture's consecration plate underneath pay homage to the dynamic Yuan-Sakya alliance, which at its peak fostered an environment of cultural and artistic syncretism that would precipitate the creation of such jewel-like expressions of this figure's esteem.銅鎏金四世薩迦法王索南孜摩像西藏 十六世紀 來源 蘇富比,紐約,1976年前索南孜摩(1142-82)僅僅擔任薩迦寺之座主(薩迦法王)三年 ,便傳位予弟弟,此後得以無所掛慮、潛心修習。 其一生從未結婚、生子,傾心於避世的生活,但從其衣袍之長袖可以看出,索南孜摩始終為一名在家修行者,而非出家僧人。其以學術成就聞名於世,為薩迦五祖之第二祖師,其核心著作包括對寂天菩薩《入菩薩行論》之詮釋、對喜金剛根本續最後兩章之闡述、梵文閱讀指引,以及概述佛陀所有教義的《佛法入門》。 如本拍品一樣,索南孜摩肖像大多顯示其身穿精美長袍,頭髮鬈曲,面容溫和。另見兩尊銅像(分別見喜馬拉雅藝術資源網7835號以及邦瀚斯,紐約,2023年3月21日,拍品521)以及一幅其與弟弟扎巴堅贊之畫像(波士頓美術館,67.831),刻畫皆近似。本拍品與前述兩尊造像中,祖師皆穿着雲肩,此符號成為於中國文化中天人權威之象徵。在蒙古人所治之元朝時期(1279-1368),薩迦派享有對西藏的行政統治權,並將雲肩納入其著裝範疇。當時蒙古宮廷對索南孜摩所代表的薩迦傳承之支持,更體現在長袍的精心設計的雕刻圖案上,例如所刻「七寶」象徵神聖統治者「轉輪聖王」。雕刻精美的長袍,以及封底所刻十字金剛杵,皆向元代宮廷與薩迦派之結盟致敬,這段聯盟的鼎盛時期孕育了文化與藝術的交融,催生出如此造像般熠熠閃光的、對偉大人物的尊崇的表現方式。Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.

STATUETTE DU CINQUIÈME SAKYA TRIDZIN, JETSUN DRAGPA GYALTSEN, EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, XVE/XVIE SIÈCLE A Tibetan inscription around the rim of the base: རྗེ་བཙུན་གྲགས་རྒྱལ་ལ་ན་མ། Translated: 'Homage to Jetsun Dragpa Gyaltsen!' Himalayan Art Resources item no. 1815 18.1 cm (7 1/8 in.) high Footnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF THE FIFTH SAKYA TRIDZIN, JETSUN DRAGPA GYALTSEN TIBET, 15TH/16TH CENTURY Provenance Sotheby's, New York, before 1976 This gilt bronze represents Jetsun Dragpa Gyaltsen (1147-1216), the Fifth Tridzin, or Throne Holder, of the Sakya order of Tibetan Buddhism. Dragpa Gyaltsen is quintessentially recognized by his shorn cut, groomed facial hair, and a full-sleeved layman's cloak. Like his father and older brother, Dragpa Gyaltsen was not a monk, though he spent most of his life in meditation, study, and teaching. Consequently, he is shown wearing a layman's long-sleeved garment underneath the meditation cloak draped over his shoulders. Regarded as the third of the Five Founding Fathers of the Sakya tradition (Jetsun Gongma Nga), Dragpa Gyaltsen is revered as a peerless tantric master, believed to have conversed directly with tantric deities while developing many of the Sakya's core teachings (Dinwiddie (ed.), Portraits of the Masters, 2003, p. 207). As his impact in the field of tantric theory and practice would never be surpassed in the Sakya tradition, he is often represented with the same attributes and pose—crossing the vajra and ghanta before his chest—as the Primordial Buddha Vajradhara, who is considered the divine progenitor of most tantric cycles. This splendid portrayal of Dragpa Gyaltsen comes from a set depicting the historical and legendary teachers of the Lamdre tradition. Also known as the Margapala Instruction Lineage and the 'Path within the Result', Lamdre is a system of tantric meditation, teachings, and rituals that became the Sakya order's foundational practice. Numerous portraits from this set are preserved in museum and private collections, including a figure of Virupa (Heller, Tibetan Art, 1999, p. 164, no. 89); Mahasiddha Avadhutipa (Zhang (ed.), Dependent Arising: Himalayan Art, 2017, pp. 124 & 260, no. 22); Drogmi Lotsawa Shakya Yeshe (fig. 1; Museum Rietberg, Zurich BA 226; Sachen Kunga Nyingpo (Arts of Asia, May - June 1998, advertisement); Sonam Tsemo (Huang, Studies on the History of gDan-sa-mthil Monastery of Tibet, 2016, p. 5); Sakya Pandita (Rubin Museum of Art, New York; HAR 65460); and Chogyal Phagpa (Christie's, New York, 15 September 2015, lot 91). Much like the following work, each of these bronzes is seated atop a circular base with wide, unfurling lotus petals and an inscription hammered in pointillé along the lower rim. Also noteworthy are the similar floral embellishments and piled folds of his clothes to that of the Sachen Kunga Nyingpo and Sonam Tsemo within this set.For the figures listed in this essay, please refer to our printed or digital catalogue.銅鎏金五世薩迦法王扎巴堅贊像西藏 十五/十六世紀來源蘇富比,紐約,1976年前此尊鎏金銅像呈現傑尊 · 扎巴堅贊(1147-1216),為第五世薩迦法王,又稱座主。扎巴堅贊因其極為經典的整齊短髮、延伸至面部之髮鬚,以及俗家弟子之長袖衣袍而得以清晰辨認。如同他的父親和哥哥一樣,扎巴堅贊並非出家僧人,儘管他曾將一生中大部分時光用於冥想、學習和教學。因此,其觀想所披之外衣下見一件長袖俗家服裝。作為薩迦五祖之第三祖,扎巴堅贊被尊崇為無與倫比的密宗大師,據信他能夠直接與密宗神明交談,並發展了許多薩迦派之核心教義(見Dinwiddie編, 《大師肖像》,2003年,頁207)。由於扎巴堅贊於密宗理論和實踐領域之影響力在薩迦派中無人能及,他時常被呈現於原初佛金剛總持之姿態與法器——手中交叉金剛杵及金剛鈴。金剛總持被視為大多數密宗教法之神聖始祖,故可見扎巴堅贊之崇高地位。這尊華美的扎巴堅贊像出自一套呈現「道果」法脈歷史上及傳說中之偉大上師之造像組。「道果」法脈為一套包含密宗之觀想、教義和儀式之體系,為薩迦派之根本性實踐基礎。造像組之多尊現保存於博物館以及私人收藏之中,包括毘魯巴像(見Heller,《Tibetan Art》,1999年,頁164,編號89),大成就者阿瓦度帝巴像(《緣起——喜馬拉雅藝術》,2017年,頁124及260,編號22,卓彌釋迦益西像(圖1,蘇黎世瑞特堡博物館藏,編號BA 226),薩欽貢嘎寧波像(《Arts of Asia》,1998年5-6月刊,推廣頁),索南孜摩像(黃,《Studies on the History of gDan-sa-mthil Monastery of Tibet》,2016年,頁5),薩迦班智達像(紐約魯賓藝術博物館,喜馬拉雅藝術資源網65460號),以及八思巴像(佳士得,紐約,2015年9月15日,拍品91)。正如此尊造像,上述造像每一尊皆安坐於一圓形、帶有舒展花瓣之底座,且其底緣帶有細點構成之銘文。此外,值得關注的是上述薩欽貢嘎寧波像以及索南孜摩像衣物上所刻花紋以及衣褶垂落而形成的褶皺,此尊扎巴堅贊像亦然。關於文中所提及之參考圖,請參閱此場拍賣之電子或紙質圖錄。Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.

In the late 1940s Ayrton had visited Italy, where he was inspired by the artists of the quattrocento such as Masaccio and Piero della Francesca. The impact of their work can be seen in the highly tonal use of colour and careful drawing and modelling of the figures.
