May 30, 2018 | Christie's | Hong Kong | Contemplating The Divine - Fine Buddhist Art | 2852 | $****** - ****** | A RARE AND FINELY CARVED INSCRIBED PALE GREY STONE BUDDHIST STELE |
other
69.5 cm (27.38 in)
Acquired from Wui Po Kwok Gallery, Hong Kong, 1999
The large, thick petal-form stele is well carved in high relief with Buddha Sakyamuni in the centre flanked by two Bodhisattvas standing on lotus petal socles. The Buddha is shown with his left hand in varada mudra and wearing long layered robes with crisp parallel folds flaring out at the hem above the under-robe just above the bare feet. The face is carved with serene expression and his hair is pulled up and dressed in undulating waves continuing over the usnisa. The group is backed by an aureole intricately carved with foliage and flames, with a lotus nimbus behind the Buddha. The two Bodhisattvas are depicted holding implements in their hands, both standing beneath a carved apsara. The back is carved with an inscription dedicated by a Buddhist follower Zhang Yide, dated to the 11th day of the first month of the fourth year of the Xiaochang era (528).
