STATUETTE DE VAJRAVARAHI EN BOIS POLYCHROME TIBET, XIIIE SIÈCLESTATUETTE DE VAJRAVARAHI EN BOIS POLYCHROMETIBET, XIIIE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205053 11.5 cm (4 1/2 in.) highA POLYCHROME WOOD FIGURE OF VAJRAVARAHI TIBET, 13TH CENTURY 西藏 十三世紀 木雕加彩金剛亥母像In early Buddhist figural art, wood was a popular material for shrines and devotional images due to its greater plasticity and portability compared to stone and bronze. As a consequence of its weaker durability, however, very few sculptures in wood survive to this day, making this image of Vajravarahi a rare example for its medium. A Nepalese stone figure of Vajravarahi of slightly earlier dating, which was donated to the Cleveland Museum of Art by the art dealer Claude de Marteau (1966.144), shares a similar composition and rendering of spirit with the following work.Provenance:Ashencaen and Leonov, London, 2000s
