拍品資料及來源

The practice of Kala Jambhala in Tibet originated with the second Sakya Tridzin or throne holder, Bari Lotsawa (born Rinchen Drakpa, 1040-1111), one of the most influential figures in Tibetan Buddhist history. In the late eleventh century, Bari Lotsawa made two extended journeys into India to train as a translator, during which time he received innumerable tantric transmissions and empowerments. He then mastered these practices and transmitted them to his disciples in Tibet, including the third Sakya Tridzin Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, the first of the Five Great Sakya Masters.

Kala Jambhala stands in fierce alidhasana atop a supine figure of Yellow Jambhala, who wears the bodhisattva jewellery and raiment and holds a jewel in the raised right hand. The ferocious, ithyphallic deity stares intently, his three eyes bulging, and his fangs bared. Compare the use of copper inlay; the sash and raised arm of Yellow Jambhala used as a support; and the wide, downturned single row of lotus petals on the base surmounted by a single row of beaded pearls with another thirteenth or fourteenth century ungilt bronze figure of Kala Jambhala also from the Nyingjei Lam Collection, see lot 3109; as well as Pratapaditya Pal, Divine Images, Human Visions, Ottawa, 1997, p. 73.
