Shakyamuni is portrayed emaciated after a long period of fasting in a quest to attain enlightenment. In the early phases of his religious quest, he was convinced that a person living in wealth and luxury would not be able to see things in the right perspective, so in an attempt to reach enlightenment, the Buddha tried multiple paths, one of which was fasting. However, he found that his entire experience was spent thinking about his body’s needs, ultimately posing so much of a distraction that he was unable to engage in true spiritual thought. Shakyamuni concluded that extreme self-denial or exaggerated self-mortification is not the path to enlightenment, and thus began to encourage others to follow a middle way, which became a central tenet of Buddhism. 清 铜释迦摩尼苦修像 一组两件 134

Lots 139 to 162 The following lots were owned by the vendor’s grandparents, John and Anna, who lived in Shanghai from the early 1900s. John James Sheridan was born on Achill Island, off the west coast of Co Mayo, Ireland, in 1881, the son of a farmer. It is believed he travelled to Shanghai in approximately 1903/04 where his profession is listed as Wine Merchant. In December 1922, John married Anna Dobershansky (b.1897) She was the daughter of a Russian nobleman - who was involved as an accountant in the building of the Trans-Siberian Railway - and it is believed that the couple enjoyed being part of Shanghai’s ‘High Society’ at that time. They had four sons and lived together in Shanghai until John died of acute appendicitis in 1936. After her husband’s death, Anna remained in China, later being interned in the Lunghua Civilian Assembly Centre there - more commonly known as a Japanese internment camp, it was the subject of the film ‘Empire of the Sun’ written by J G Ballard. On her release from the camp, she left for Ireland with all her possessions in three large trunks. Following Anna’s death in 1964, the items remained in the trunks, the majority of which the vendor has now decided to sell in the hope that someone else may derive pleasure from them.
