印度東北部 帕拉時期 十二世紀 彌勒銀像
Provenance
Benny Rustenburg, Amsterdam
King's Collection, acquired from the above in 1990s
Seated in the posture of royal ease (lalitasana) upon a rounded lotus pedestal, this exquisite silver figure captures Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future, with his hands held in dharmachakramudra. The sculpture embodies a harmonious synthesis of grace and plastic volume; the torso sways in a subtle curve, complemented by the naturalistic fullness of the shoulders and gently rounded abdomen.
A quiet, introspective calm pervades the face. The downcast gaze, framed by arching brows, directs attention to classic Pala facial modelling. Flanking the bodhisattva, one of his identifying attributes, the , rises from a lotus at his left shoulder, while another lotus at his right balances the composition. Adorned with a high-tiered chignon, fluttering crown ribbons, and delicate drapes, the work stands as a refined testament to the artistic heights of 11th–12th century Pala Northeastern India. The modeling of the lotus base, high chignon, and shoulder-slung finds a close stylistic counterpart in a 12th-century Maitreya from the Nyingjei Lam Collection (HAR 68420). Furthermore, the facial features and treatment of the lotus throne closely align with a Pala period sculpture of Manjushri in the British Museum (HAR 34430). Very similar jewellery and adornments appear on a c. 12th-century Manjushri sold at Christie's, New York, 20 March 2002, lot 52.
