A GILT AND POLYCHROMED COPPER REPOUSSÉ MANDALA PANEL WITH CHARNEL GROUND SCENES
NEPAL OR TIBET, CIRCA 15TH CENTURY
尼泊爾或西藏 約十五世紀 銅鎏金彩繪錘揲屍陀林景曼荼羅飾板
Once part of the eastern quadrant of a glorious sculptural mandala, this fine Newari repoussé panel illustrates a charnel ground scene of a mahasiddha surrounded by corpse-devouring vultures, leopards, and wolves, as well as a naga and nagini in attendance. The panel's bands of finely articulated flames, vajra enclosure, and lotus petals form apotropaic boundaries that are common to tantric Buddhist mandalas.
While it is possible that this great mandala could have been commissioned and produced in Tibet, the panel's fine repoussé and pigmented background indicate the work of a Newari master craftsman. A closely related pair of Newari repoussé plaques from the same period were sold at Bonhams, New York, 14 March 2016, lot 13. Also see other examples sold at Bonhams, Hong Kong, 21 April 2021, lot 6; Christie's, Amsterdam, 8 May 2002, lot 543; and one discussed in, Brauen, Mandala: Sacred Circle in Tibetan Buddhism, 2009, fig. 1.10.
