元/明早期銅鎏金天王頭像

This powerfully-cast head would have belonged to a large Buddhist figure of one of the four ‘Celestial Kings of the Directions’, Tianwang, the Guardians of the Four Quarters of the world.

The Heavenly Kings were originally placed on the four sides of stupas, guarding the Buddhist relics inside. However, in China, the figures took the form of various Chinese warriors and would have been situated at the entrance to a temple in order to protect against evil spirits and barbarian invasions. The imagery of the Four Heavenly Kings was also adopted into the Daoist tradition. In addition, each king was associated with a specific direction and with the ‘Four Heraldic Animals’ of Chinese astrology, ensuring favourable weather for crops and peace throughout the land; see P.B.Welch, Chinese Art: A Guide to Motifs and Visual Imagery, Vermont, 2008, p.194. ‘The Hall of the Heavenly Kings’ is a standard component of Chinese Buddhist temples and gilt-bronze figures of the Tianwang were often placed in important temples.

Compare with a related gilt-bronze head of a Heavenly Guardian, Ming dynasty, in Compton Verney House, Warwick, acc.no.CVCSC 0244.2.A. See also a large gilt-bronze head of Dvarapala, Yuan dynasty, in the British Museum, acc.no.1960,0729.1.

The Sakya School has a strong tradition of sculpted portraiture and encouraged individually-cast portraits of the great Sakya masters, commissioned by themselves, their disciples, or spiritual disciples of later centuries. The present lot is similar to another group of uninscribed Sakya imagery, illustrated in the first volume of Portraits of the Masters, Chicago, 2003, pls.79-82. Traditionally, those that have a youthful cast, such as the present lot, have suggested identification with Chogyal Pakpa (1235-1280) who achieved dazzling heights in scholarship, practice and career before dying at the age of 45.

The present figure may represent Buddha Shakyamuni, one of the most-widely-represented subjects in Buddhist art. Modelled in the earth-touching gesture or bhumisparsha mudra, the Buddha recalls the moment of his Enlightenment, in which he called upon the earth as his witness of his battle against the temptations and attacks of Mara and his demons. The serene countenance conveyed by the gentle facial features, with the eyes depicted half closed in meditation and the long earlobes symbolising long life, follows the standard rules for the depiction of Buddha to ensure the deity was shown embodying maximum power. Compare with a related gilt-bronze figure of Buddha Shakyamuni, 16th/17th century, in the Chang Foundation, illustrated in Buddhist Images in Gilt Metal, Taipei, 1993, pp.32-33, no.9.

十八世紀款彩樓閣園遊圖十二開屏風

Provenance: a US West Coast private collection

來源：美國西岸私人收藏

The term ‘Coromandel lacquer’ was originally coined for this type of Chinese lacquer by Europeans who mistakenly thought that it originated from the Indian Coromandel Coast, as a result of its passing through the trading ports whilst en route to the West. These screens were highly expensive and laborious to produce, and were intended for use by high-ranking officials, scholars and gentry who commissioned them to commemorate important events such as birthdays.

The present lot contains numerous allusions to auspicious events in Chinese myth and legend, and would have been an appropriate birthday gift. One panel, for example, shows the Queen Mother of the West descending from the clouds on a phoenix. She presided over the mythical Orchard of Immortality, whose peaches could rejuvenate Immortals. In time, motifs of the Queen Mother of the West came to represent the wish for longevity.

Another scene on the screen depicts a reception or banquet given by General Guo Ziyi 郭子儀 (697-781), a celebrated figure who was credited with saving the Tang dynasty by putting down the An Shi rebellion. He was later made a prince and eventually deified in popular culture as a God of Wealth and Happiness. Depictions of Guo Ziyi and his numerous offspring celebrating his birthday were also frequently employed on screens of this kind.

There is also a scene of the poet Tao Yuanming (AD 365-427) renowned for his love of wine and chrysanthemums which later, due to his poetry, became a symbol of rustic autumnal retirement. It is probable that the scenes on this screen derived from woodblock prints in popular novels.

Several Coromandel lacquer screens decorated with similar scenes of palaces and processions, Kangxi, are illustrated by W.De Kesel and G.Dhont in Coromandel: Lacquer Screens, Gent, 2002, pp.40-44. See also further examples illustrated by M.Beurdeley, Le Mobilier Chinois: Le Guide du Connaiseur, Fribourg, pp.135-142.

依據塔里安利·得·馬基奧女侯爵的清單手稿，該拍品於1943年作為禮物贈予此家族。

Marchese Taliani was a distinguished Italian diplomat. In 1938 he was appointed Ambassador to China, where he remained until 1946; and his last diplomatic appointment was in 1951 as Ambassador to Spain until 1952.

The Chinese word for deer (lu 鹿), sounds like the word for emolument or an official salary (lu 祿), thus deer are symbolic of the rank and wealth that are associated with such a salary. The word for deer is also a homophone for ‘road’ and for ‘six’. Thus two deer suggest two auspicious phrases: Lulu shunli, ‘May all roads be smooth’, and Liuliu dashun, ‘May everything be smooth sailing’.

See a related blue and white ‘deer’ vase, Qianlong mark and of the period, with similar motif but of different shape, which was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 11 April 2008, lot 2830.

Buffalos were emblematic of agriculture. As such, in Imperial China, where agriculture was considered by Confucian governments to be the main source of tax revenue, the buffalo - used for ploughing - became a symbol of prosperity and hard work. Emperors frequently likened themselves to farmers ploughing the fields with an ox or buffalo under their reins. See for example, the Yongzheng emperor depicted as a famer in Pictures of Tiling and Weaving Portraying Yinzhen, Kangxi period, in the Palace Museum, Beijing (acc.no.Gu6634-8).

Another aspect of the buffalo is its guardian function, stemming from the legend of the Emperor Yu of the Xia dynasty casting an iron ox to subdue floods.

See a related jade buffalo, Qing dynasty, illustrated in Jade: Ch’ing Dynasty Treasures, Taipei, 1997, no.151. A larger, green jade buffalo, Qianlong, is 52 also illustrated in The Woolf Collection of Chinese Jade, London, 2003, no.99.

Silk pouches decorated with Imperial yellow strings and tassels, such as the present lot, formed an essential part of the formal outfit worn by the Qing emperors and the highest-ranking members of society. As there were no pockets in gowns or jackets until the beginning of the twentieth century, small purses were usually suspended from the formal court belt, chaodai, serving as receptacles containing daily necessities, such as aromatic items, tobacco, and other small items. They were also used as part of formal ceremonial regalia.

Drawstring purses affirm the nomadic origin of the Manchu, as they probably developed from carrying purses made of leather which often contained pieces of flint needed to strike a flame, fundamental to the Manchu way of life. As the Manchu settled in China, cases made for knife and compass were gradually replaced by cases made for fans, kerchief holders and other items suggesting the more leisurely and scholarly existence of the Chinese literati. Once established in China, the Manchu emperors often kept areca nuts in the purses, but also scented cotton and aromatic herbs.
