34.6 cm (13.63 in)
Robert Biegler, Switzerland, 1996
Sold at Nagel, 10 May 2012, lot 1139
The figure is seated in dhyanasana on a double lotus base, with his right hand in bhumisparsamudra, his left hand in dhyanamudra, wearing a softly pleated robe draped over the left shoulder and falling in rounded folds on the base, the serene face is framed by long pendulous ears with vertical slits and hair arranged in rows of tight whorls surmounted by a domed usnisa. There are four incised inscriptions on the base: a seven-character mark inscription on the top in the front reading Da Ming Tianshun liunian zao, ‘Made in the sixth year of the Tianshun period of the Great Ming’; a five-character inscription below the lotus petals in the front reading shizun Shijiafo, ‘ten Buddha Shakyamuni’; a seven-character inscription below the petals on the back reading shanren Wang Ming shi miaoxiu, ‘dedicated by Wang Ming’; a single character inscription on the underside of the base reading jiu, ‘nine’.
