Description

A SMALL GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF TSONGKHAPA

QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

清十八世紀 鎏金銅宗喀巴小坐像


9.8 cm, 3⅞ in.

Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) is a revered Tibetan religious philosopher, and a central figure of the Gelugpa sect that ruled Tibet until the middle of the 20th century. According to tradition, he is an emanation of the Bodhisattva Manjushri. The attributes supported by the blossoms at his shoulder, the flaming sword that cuts through ignorance and the book of wisdrom, are also those of Manjushri. See a larger example dated to the Qianlong period, sold in our New York rooms, 19th March 2013, lot 352.


宗喀巴(1357-1419年)是藏傳佛教中地位顯赫人物,為至二十世紀中葉仍在藏區保有巨大影響力的格魯派的創始人。他被認為是文殊菩薩的化身,坐像雙肩倆株蓮花,右側斷煩惱寶劍,左側經典,皆為文殊法器。見一尺寸較大乾隆例子,2013年3月19日售於紐約蘇富比,編號352。
