Preface

We are delighted to organize this exhibition, “The Touch of Devotion” comprising

Buddhist and Hindu sculptures and ritual objects from three distinguished collections of Buddhist art. We have collaborated closely with the owners of these collections and their passion and knowledge for their artworks has been an inspiration for us.

While researching the objects in the exhibition we encountered several with rare

iconographies that presented a challenge to identify. This time consuming process became rewarding when the object was finally identified.

The first collection comes from a respected Australian collector, a retired veterinary

surgeon who made his first purchase of Asian Art in 1969. For the next forty five years he has been a regular visitor to museums, temples, monasteries and archeological sites in India, South East Asia, China and Japan often accompanied by his wife. Earlier this year we had the pleasure of visiting them at their home on the shores of Lake Macquarie, Australia’s largest saltwater lake. We spent many hours examining and discussing the collection of Indian, Himalayan and South East Asian Art as well as his other great passion, orchids.

One of the pieces he has provided for the exhibit is the superb 15th century gilt

copper image of Chandra, the Moon God from the Malla Kingdom. Another is the extremely rare 14th century Tibetan Bronze figure of Krishna Yamari.

The second collection is from a great friend; a widely respected dignity and an

excellent teacher. This collection represents the second joint venture with our guru after the successful October “Gems of Wisdom” exhibition of the minuscule Buddhist sculptures. We are grateful for the trust and support of this great teacher and beloved friend. Many people know him and respect him. His generous donations and philanthropy over the past few decades have helped thousands of young students and their families from China, America, and India. In this current exhibition, the rare 10th century Pala bronze image of Kala Bhairava clutching the truncated Brahma and a set of Wrathful Tara Tsakalis (initiation cards gouache on paper) from the 13th century Taklung Monastery are two of the highlights from his collection. This will be the first time the public has the chance to view them on exhibit.

The third collection in the current exhibition is represented by a magnificent 18th

century bronze statue of Vajrabhairava and Vajravetali in yab-yum form. The owner is also a good friend whom we have known for over 20 years. He has great passion and exceptional instincts when collecting art.

It is our great honor to offer and to share with our friends the beauty and charm of

these Buddhist Art collections.

May Lord Buddha grant peace, joy, and wisdom to all.

The Black Killer of Death Krishna Yamari - the Black Killer of Death, is one of the most powerful and fierce male wrathful deities. Yamari is a “Yidam” – meditational deity; there are many yidams within the Tantric Buddhist pantheon, they are often classified according to whether they appear in peaceful and wrathful form. Krishna (black) Yamri is grouped within the three principal wrathful deities; the other two are Rakta (red) Yamri, and Vajrabhairava (terrifying). Krishna Yamari is a rare but powerful deity. His origin is still shrouded in mystery. There do not appear to be many literatury sources for this rare deity. Krishna Yamari appears on only a few existing early Tibetan thangkas, providing important references for understanding his origin. One, an extraordinary depiction of Krishna Yamari, is in the collection of the Rubin Museum of art (HAR no. 1043 as shown in below picture), a thangka painted in the 14th century. Bronze statues of this deity are especially rare. Only a few have survived over the centuries. A large figure of this “Yidam”, with the same iconography, and a missing base was sold in Sotheby’s NYC on December 18th 1981, which was illustrated on the catalogue cover. This bronze figure is an exquisite scuplture of Krishna Yamari. He has 3 faces, the main face would be dark blue, and the other two facing the back would be in red and white. He has six arms and four legs, standing in pratyalidha asana on a beautifully carved full double lotus base. His hands are holding a danda-human corpse, lasso and various weapons. His expression is extremely fierce with three bulging eyes, opened mouth, and protruding fangs. He wears a garland of human heads and three different skins covering his lower body — human, elephant and tiger.

黑閻魔敵 黑閻魔敵,又名黑威羅瓦金剛,是一位非 常罕見充滿力量的男性忿怒神。除了黑 閻魔之外,藏傳佛教重要憤怒神還有紅 閻魔敵和大威德金剛。這三位護法均為 文殊菩薩的忿怒化身。 美國紐約魯賓博物館珍藏十四世紀黑閻 魔敵雙修唐卡( HAR 編號1043,下圖)。 銅像非常罕見,1981年12月18曰蘇富比 拍賣圖錄封面曾出現過一尊體型較大的 黑閻魔敵銅像(編號338)。 右圖是黑閻魔敵難得精美作品。體型雖 小,造型雄壯有力。此尊獨雄黑閻魔敵造 像有三頭、六臂和四腿。從唐卡見到三 頭的正面呈深藍色、朝向後方的面是白 色和紅色。正面三眼炯炯有神,咀露尖 牙,生動活潑。六手各持骷髏杖、套索和 不同法器。上身裸露,身戴蛇鏈和一串人 頭鏈,以戰鬥姿勢站立橢圓型雙層蓮座。 最有趣是下身披著白象皮、虎皮和人皮, 造功精細。

Caturbhuja Manjugosha 真實名尊四臂文殊菩薩 14th century / 十四世紀 Tibet 西藏 Copper alloy with gold, silver and copper inlay / 銅合金鑲嵌金, 銀和紅銅 H 12.5 cm / 公分

manjugosha Manjugosha is the Bodhisattva of supreme wisdom, one of the oldest and most important Buddhist deities. He is often portrayed as a young prince. He provides guidance for followers’ spiritual development, and the ability to differentiate between right and wrong. This exceptional sculpture of Manjugosha from the 15th century is seated crosslegged on a double lotus pedestal, wearing princely garments and ornaments. He has a warm face, his eyes slightly downcast, and his mouth set in a broad smile. The four-armed god holds a sutra book representing his attainment of ultimate realization and enlightenment; a flaming sword to vanquish ignorance; and a bow and arrow in his secondary hands. The sculpture is inlaid with three different precious metals: A gold band on the hem of his dohti, belt, sutra book and tip of the lotus petals; A copper band, on the hem of his dohti and his lips, and silver eyes enhancing the powerful gaze. Similar use of copper and silver inlay can be found in the 15th century bronze figure of Syamatara in the Rietberg museum. Both sculptures demonstrate the highest level of inlay work from the Tibetan artists in the 15th century.

文殊菩薩 真實名尊四臂文殊菩薩代 表最高智慧菩薩。他経常 以十六歲王子現身,為追隨 者在禪修路上分辨是非。 這尊十五世紀四臂文殊菩 薩(圖右)以全跏趺坐于雙 層飽滿蓮座。上兩手持劍 和經書,下兩手拿弓和箭。 上身裸露,身戴華麗珠寶。 下身穿裙,以紅銅和銅鎏 金相間裝飾,令銅像尊貴異常。雙眼鑲 銀、咀鑲紅銅,更是錦上添花。雙層蓮座 還有局部鎏金,匠心獨運。瑞士蘇黎世 Rietberg博物館的Berti Aschmann珍藏的 一尊十五世紀銅綠度母像亦鑲有銅和銀。 這兩尊銅像各展示了十五世紀西藏藝術 鑲嵌作品的高超水平。

Vajravārāhī 金剛亥母 14-15th century / 十四至十五世紀 Central Tibet 西藏中部 Gilt copper alloy/ 銅鎏金 H 10.4 cm / 公分

Diamond sow Vajravarahi is a wrathful form of Vajrayogini; she is one of the most popular Tantric female deities. She is specially worshipped in the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddism. When Vajravarahi appears in the Yab-yum form with Chakrasamvara(father-mother), it symbolizes the merging of wisdom and compassion. This finely detailed small statue of Vajravarahi shows her dancing on a human corpse on top of the lotus pedestal. She has a small sow head (varahi) emerging from the right side of her head. Vajravarahi has three eyes, one vertically located on the forehead, between the eyebrows, also known as the eye of spiritual wisdom. She holds a chopper (karttrika) in her raised right hand, to overcome demonic obstructions. In her left hand, she holds a skull-cup (kapala) in front of her chest. She wears a long garland of human skulls, a billowing scarf, earrings, bracelets and a five-skull crown. The statue is consecrated and the bottom is sealed with a gilded copper plate engraved with a double dorje within a circle. This statue is very similar to a group of central Tibetan 14-15th century larger gilded statues identified as having come from Densatil.

明妃 金剛亥母是金剛瑜伽母的忿怒形象,她是 藏傳佛教噶舉派最受歡迎的密宗女神之 一。她是勝樂金剛的明妃,代表智慧和慈 悲的融合。 金剛亥母造像以單腿舞姿腳踏人屍于單 層蓮座上。女神面容慈悲,頭右側長有一 豬形頭。右手高舉執鋼鉞刀,斬除一切惡 魔障礙。左手托盈血顱骨器(卡帕拉)。頭 戴五骷髏寶冠,頸掛人頭飾項鏈低垂至足 踝。珠寶滿身,華麗非凡。體態優美,婀娜 多姿。肩膀兩側飾有飄帶,越顯貴氣。 銅像以鎏金銅片封底,銅片刻有十字金剛 杵,非常珍貴。此造像極具十五世紀西藏 中部丹薩替寺廟造像風格。

Jigten Sumgön 止貢巴仁欽貝 (1143-1217) 13th century / 十三世紀 Tibet, founder of the Drikung Kagyu school 西藏 止貢噶舉派創始人 Copper alloy with color pigment / 銅合金、礦彩 H 10 cm / 公分

Jigten Sumgon “The Lord of the Triple Words” This charming lama portrait can be comfortably identified as Jigten Sumgon (1143-1217), by comparison with a bronze illustrated in “Wisdom and Compassion, the sacred art of Tibet” by Marylyn Rhie and Robert Thurman, 1996, cat no. 206. Jigten Sumgon was the chief disciple of Phakmo Drupa (Catealogue no. 07) and became one of the most influential Lamas in Tibet. He founded the Drikung Kagyu School, which was one of the eight sub-sects of the Kagyu school in Tibetan Buddhism in 1179 AD. Jigten Sumgon is best known for his wisdom and many of his Buddhist teachings. On one occasion he attracted an audience of 130,000 monks and practitioners gathered at Drikung for his teaching. This portrait bronze depicts Jigten Sumgon in middle age with a round face, plump body and wearing an abbot’s cape. He is seated cross legged on a double lotus throne composed of wide fleshy lotus petals typical of the 13th century. The sculpture is made from a beautiful golden copper alloy, the patina enhanced by years of handling.

止貢巴仁欽貝「三言之王」

對比「慈悲與智慧:神聖的西藏藝 術」1996年,206號,這造像最有可能是 止貢巴仁欽貝。 止貢巴仁欽貝是藏傳佛教最著名喇嘛之一。 他在1179年創立了止貢噶舉派,是噶舉派 八大分支之一,曾經有多達十三萬信徒 追隨。 藏傳佛教裏上師造像佔有很重要的地位。 藝術家手藝非凡,所塑上師像造型神似, 幾可亂真。此銅像有一圓潤面容和肥胖 身軀,可能是上師中年肖像。身穿上師僧 袍,線條簡潔,坐于美麗雙層蓮座,右手 低垂結觸地印。上師造像面塗冷金。整 體銅質有黃油般包漿皮殼,代表銅像曾受 長年累月高度崇拜和觸摸。

Lowo Khenchen Sonam Lhundrup 洛窩堪欽 · 索郎倫 (1456-1531) 16th century / 十六世紀 Tibet, Abbot of the Mustang, Sakya school, Ngor monastery 西藏 木斯塘廟宇住持, 薩迦派, 俄爾寺 Copper alloy with silver and copper inlay / 銅合金鑲嵌銀、紅銅 H 12.2 cm / 公分

This fine statue depicts a lama seated cross-legged on top of a double lotus pedestal. Although the sculpture has no inscription, the lama can be confidently identified as Lowo Khenchen Sonam Lhundrup. This bronze is closely related to several inscribed bronzes in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the collection illustrated in Portraits of the Masters. Lowo Khenchen, was born into the ruling house of Mustang, the son of king Amgon Zangpo. He was dedicated to the religious life at birth and traveled to Central Tibet several times, studying at the great Sakya and Ngor Monasteries. In later life he returned to Mustang and continued teaching there for the last decade of his life. (Bibliography: Himalayan art resourceshimalayanart.org) This statue is a strong finely detailed sculpture. Lowo Khenchen’s beautiful life-like face with piecing eyes is enhanced by silver and copper inlay. His right hand is in vitarka mudra (giving instruction), his left holds a flaming jewel. The stems of flowers spring from both hands, that of the right supporting a sword at the right shoulder and that from the left supporting a sutra book at the left shoulder. His robes have extensive fine engraving including flowers and clouds.

此銅像是木斯塘著名主持 洛窩堪欽.索郞倫(14561531年)。儘管雕像沒有銘 文,這位上師獨特特徵與美 國費城藝術博物館有銘文 的造像風格非常相似。 洛窩堪欽是木斯塘國王 Amgon Zangpo 皃子。他 曾多次前往西藏,在薩迦寺 和俄爾寺學習,往後十年一 直在木斯塘授徒。 ( 參考:喜 馬拉雅藝術資源 — himalayanart.org) 銅像造功精細。眼睛鑲銀和紅銅。雙手 結説教印,左手t托火焰形摩尼寶珠。兩 肩側有蓮枝托着寶劍和經書,展示其文 殊菩薩的傳承。僧袍衣緣暗刻花紋圖案。 雙膝呈跏趺,端坐于木斯塘特有 風格的 雙層蓮座。

Buddha shakyamuni 釋迦牟尼佛 14th century / 十四世紀 Tibet 西藏 Copper Alloy with orange pigment / 銅合金、橙礦彩 H 20.4 cm / 公分

Shakyamuni Buddha is seated cross-legged with his right hand touching the earth. This shows the moment when Buddha was meditating under the Bodhi tree, being tempted by the forces of Mara trying to distract him during his final stages of mediation before his enlightenment. Buddha remained unmoved by the temptations and moved his right hand from his lap to the ground in front of him saying, “the earth is my witness”, and finally attained his ultimate enlightenment. The statue is beautifully modelled and finely cast. The Buddha has a powerful body and the details of his hands and splayed toes are very finely executed. The engraving of the robe borders is especially delicate and precise, and the statue has an rich dark patina. Traces of orange pigment in the hair suggest that it might have been worshiped in Nepal. This Buddha was probably made by a skilled Nepalese craftsman in Tibet or Nepal during the Yuan period.

悉達多坐在蓮座上結觸地 印,重映當年悉達多坐在菩 提樹下成佛的一刻。以瑪 拉為首的惡魔多番嘗試分 散悉達多的注意力,悉達多 不為所動,垂右手觸地,呼 喚大地為證,醒覺成道為佛 祖釋迦牟尼。 這尊莊嚴的釋迦像是展覽 中較大的造像之一。整體 線條優雅精緻。肩膀寛闊 飽滿強壯,手足有力。雙腳盤膝全跏趺坐。 高勾鼻子,細長耳垂,面含微笑,展現年 輕的佛陀。 佛陀身穿輕薄架裟,衣緣和下擺都暗刻精 美圖案。右肩外露。 雕像銅質呈獨特黑橄欖色,頭髮曾染橙紅 色,表示銅像曾受尼泊爾信徒崇拜。雙層 蓮座飽滿精美,蓮瓣排列緊密均勻,表示 這造像可能出自元朝技藝高超藝術家之 手,受尼泊爾和西藏當時風格影響。

A rare figure of Chandra, the Moon God 罕 見 的月神 錢 德 拉 銅 像 15 century / 十五世紀 NEPAL MALLA 尼泊爾馬拉皇朝 Gilt copper / 紅銅鎏金 H 10.4 cm / 公分

In Buddhist Cosmology, Chandra is believed to ride across the sky every night in a chariot pulled by seven male geese. In the same way Suyra, the Sun God rides across the sky every day in a chariot pulled by seven horses. This finely made sculpture of Chandra shows him seated on a risen platform representing the chariot pulled by seven male geese. He wears an ornate five leaf crown and elaborate Bodhisattva jewelry inlaid with turquoise and garnets. This sculpture was cast in pure copper and richly gilt. The sweet young face and the virtuosity of the design demonstrate the high level of skill of Nepalese sculptors during the Malla period. There is a bent copper tang beneath the sculpture indicating it was once part of a larger assembly. Although Chandra is a very popular deity in Nepal, and was frequently depicted in paintings, bronze statues of Chandra are very rare. An example of a Chandra sculpture is in the British museum.

傳説年輕美麗的月神錢德拉,每晚都坐在 由七隻男天鵝牽引的戰車在天空飛行;白 天時日神則坐在由七匹馬拉動的戰車到 處飛行。崇拜月神讓我們從悲傷和精神 折磨中解脫過來。月神亦是生育之神。 今次展出的銅鎏金月神像是尼泊爾十 五世紀馬拉時期的佳作。頭戴鑲滿寶 石的五葉寶冠、華麗的珠寶滿身,雙手 結説教印置胸前,盤膝跏趺坐在七鵝戰 車,厚重的鎏金,單層排列有序的蓮 座,每處的細節都表現了尼泊爾馬 拉時期藝術家的高超技藝。蓮座底 下有一枝彎曲銅枝,應是連接到一 個更大的組合。 錢德拉月神在尼泊爾和 印度非常受人歡 迎,多數在繪畫出 現。銅鎏金月神像 非常罕見。我們 只在倫敦大英 博物館找到 一尊類似的月 神像。

Arthasiddhi Varahi is a sow headed wrathful form of Vajrayogini. This is an extremely rare early depiction of the Goddess in bronze. It symbolizes her relentless power to achieve liberation and overcome obstacles. This statue of the wrathful Varahi with a sow’s head and four arms, stands on two human corpses. Her four hands hold a skull cup (kapala), a thunderbolt (vajra), a flaying knife (triguk), and her primary left hand is in Karana mudra (expelling demons). The statue has a beautifully cast flaming halo. The throne base is finely engraved. This sculpture has a warm golden patina due to its preservation in Tibet. A more elaborate late 11th century Indian statue of Sadaksari in the Norton Simon museum has a similar style of halo and throne.

A rare set of 9 Wrathful Tara Tsakali (Initiation card) 罕見的一套九張忿怒相度母擦卡利 13th century / 十三世紀 Tibet, Kagyu sub-sect Taklung Monastery 西藏, 噶舉派分枝下達隆寺 Gold foil and red pigment and ink on paper / 紙、黃金和紅色顏料 10 x 7.8 cm / 公分

Tara­— “Peaceful by day, Wrathful by night” These are nine miniature paintings depicting rare image of “Vajrapani-like” Tara with her outstretched right hand brandishing a vajra and her left hand in tarjani warning mudra, standing in pratyalidha pose. In this form, she is a protector, and she uses her energy to cut through the truth. Color pigments in red and gold were employed. The nine paintings belong to the same set of Tsakali cards which are initiation cards used by practitioner or lama to evoke a specific Buddhist deity. Long lines of inscriptions in red ink were written on the back of the Tsakali cards. There are three similar miniature paintings at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota and another three at the Newark Museum in New Jersey. The former museum owns the paintings of Lama Tsangpa Tashi Pal (1142-1210) founder of the Taklung Kagyu lineage; Palden Lhamo deity and Buddha Bhaisayaguru. And the latter, the Newark Museum owns the tsakali with images: Akshobhya Buddha,Tara and Sangye Yarjon lama (1207-1273). All the above images from the two sources share the same style of drawings, colour pigments and inscriptions on the reverse. Other similarities include the unique 3-leafed diadem with triangular foliage design;large circular earrings; double looped bracelets and the downward lotus pedestals. Amy Heller’s article “A set of Thirteeth Century Tsakali” suggested that the three Tsakalis in Newark Museum were part of a larger set commissioned to the Kagyu Taklung Monastery by a special patron in the 13th century. This set of ritual images was believed to be used in an initiation ceremony at the Taklung Monastery in Lhasa, Tibet.

度母 — “白晝慈悲,夜間忿怒“

這九幅細型繪畫描繪了手拿金剛 杵忿怒相度母,她伸出的右手揮舞 著金剛杵,左手結警戒印, 雙腳以 戰鬥姿勢站立在大蓮花座上。用 紅色顏料和黃金畫成。這九幅擦 卡利同屬一套,是修煉者或喇嘛用 來喚起特定佛教神靈而用的。在 每張擦卡利的背面寫有長長的紅墨水銘文。 分別在明尼阿波利斯藝術博物和新澤西州的 紐瓦克博物館各有三幅相似的擦卡利。前者 有達隆噶舉血統的創始人唐巴扎西帕爾(11421210)、吉祥天母、和藥師佛。而後者,紐瓦克 博物館擁有帶有圖像的阿卡比亞:塔拉,阿克 修比亞佛像和桑耶亞爾貢(1207-1273)。來自 兩個來源的所有上述圖像共有相同風格的圖 畫,彩色顏料和銘文。其他相似之處包括獨特 的三葉王冠,三角形葉片設計;大圓形耳環;雙 環手鐲和向下蓮花座。 西藏藝術學者艾米海勒的文章“一套十三世紀 擦卡利”建議在紐瓦克博物館的三張擦卡利是 十三世紀一位特別讚助人委託給噶舉達隆寺 而繪畫的的一部分。擦卡利背後銘文詳細重 要地記錄了日期和出處。這套儀式卡被認為是 在西藏拉薩的塔隆寺喇嘛們用來為寺廟施法 中使用的。

His right hand raised, brandishing a sword above his head and his left hand holding a Brahman’s head. He has bulging eyes, flaming hair and a ferocious look on his face. He has flying ribbons on his shoulders and wearing a tiger skin dhoti. Despite the intimidating features on the sculpture, the figure appears attractive and protective. The Hayagriva bronze from Kurkihar, 10th century at the Patna Museum, Bihar, India shares similar facial features and hair style as the Kala Bhairava bronze.

Vajrabhairava and Vajravetali 大威德金剛雙修 18th century / 十八世紀 China, Tibet 中國, 西藏 bronze / 銅 H 23 cm / 公分

Yamantaka This exquisite bronze sculpture portrays Vajrabhairava and his consort Vajravetali in their sensuous state. Vajrahhairava has nine heads, 34 arms and 16 legs. Color pigments and cold gold adorned the faces and the flaming hair, and diadems are inset with turquoise gems. The main head is a buffalo, seven are guardian heads, surmounted by Manjusri, the benign manifestation of Vajrabhairava. His principal hands hold the kapala and chopper. The other radiating hands with ritual attributes: ghanta, trident, sword, arrow, bow, lasso, danda, parasol, Bhrama ’s head ,vajra, khavanga. He stands in alidhasana, trampling on heavenly deities, birds and animals, symbolizing his control over evil and ignorance. A thin sheet of silver in the form of elephant skin attached to his back.His consort Vajravetali, in his embrace, holds the ghanta and chopper in her hands. Both divine figures worn a garland of severed human heads and skulls. The statue is consecrated and sealed with a copper plate incised with a gilt double vajra. A gilded bronze image of Vaijrabhairava Yab-yum (lot 745, Sotheby’s NYC, March 2016) and a parcel-gilt Chakrasamvara (Berti Ashman collection at Rietberg Museum) bear multiple stylistic similarities to this current sculpture. These three exquisite sculptures were commissioned by the Qing emperors and produced at the imperial workshop.

大威德金剛 罕見精美的漢藏大威德和明妃造像。 大威德金剛有九頭,三十四臂和十六腿。 九頭分三層排列:下層正面大頭是水牛, 旁邊有六個忿怒護法圍繞著;中層有一忿 怒護法;最頂層是文殊菩薩,表明大威德 金剛是文殊菩薩化身。前面兩主手拿著 嘎巴拉碗和鉞刀,其他手各持不同法器: 鈴、三叉戟、劍、箭、弓、套索、骷髏仗、陽 傘、神梵天顱骨、金剛杵和金剛棍等。雙 修像腳踏神靈、鳥獸,象徵著他能控制邪 惡和無知。背掛銀質象皮。擁抱的明妃 手握金剛鈴和鉞刀。護法頭戴骷髏寶冠。 全身赤躶,謹以珠寶裝飾。主身下擺掛著 一串骷髏頭和一串人頭,非常特別。大威 德金剛以戰鬥站姿,威武地立於單層蓮座 上。造像背後有多重火熖拱形背光,佈局 嚴謹,亦增強整體威嚴。底部有鎏金十字 金剛杵銅板密封,尤其難得! 銅鎏金大威德金剛雙修像(紐約蘇比拍賣 2016年3月,拍品745)和局部鎏金銅勝樂 金剛(瑞士蘇黎世里特貝格博物館Berti Aschmann收藏,頁168-9,號112)與今次 展品有多重風格相似之處。三件雕塑都 很可能由十八世紀時清朝宮廷造辦處鑄 造的。
