A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF DORJE TA'OG

QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY
Himalayan Art Resources item no.2157
15 cm (5 7/8 in.) high

Footnotes

Dorje Ta'og is the protector of Sera monastery in Lhasa, one of the three great Gelug monastic universities. He typically rides a black horse, but can also be depicted atop a lion. This exceptional example painstakingly renders the finer details of his military uniform. Compare with a closely related figure of Dam Can in the Musée Guimet published in von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p.549, no.156F.

Provenance
Private French Collection, acquired in Paris, early 1970s


銅鎏金金剛達額護法像
清朝，十八世紀
喜馬拉雅藝術資源網2157號
高15釐米（5 7/8 英寸）

$160,000-240,000 港元

金剛達額為拉薩色拉寺守護神，色拉寺乃格魯派三大寺院學府之一。他常以黑馬為坐騎，但時而也以坐於獅背之形像出現。此尊造像工藝精湛，細節刻畫入微，尤以其盔甲為甚。集美博物館藏有與其風格相似的一尊護法像，出版於馮·施羅德，印度與西藏的銅造像，香港，1981年，549頁，156F號。

來源
法國私人收藏，於1970年代早期購自巴黎
