清乾隆 (1736-1795) 摩利支天銀像
Provenance
Sotheby's, London, 9 November 2016, lot 282
Marichi, Goddess of Light, is shown seated on a lotus throne on the back of a sow. She is sumptuously adorned with a crown inset with gems and a flowing silk shawl. This example is one of the rare silver figures of its size.
As recorded in Maricidharanisutra, she is a protective deity associated with the rays of the sun, whose powers include invisibility, protection, and freedom from harm. Marichi is a highly revered deity in the Qing court due to her role as the tutelary protector of the State from invading armies. The prominence of her worship is reiterated by the Sixth Panchen Lama, who gifted a set of Marichi thangkas to the Emperor in the 44th year of Qianlong (1779).
Compare with an almost identical Marichi from the Wall of Sanctuary of Buddhist Essence in the Palace Museum, published in Palace Publishing, , 2013, p.509, pl.755, and a gilt copper alloy example sold at Bonhams, London, 15 May 2014, lot 316.
