拍品描述

Dimensions: 48 cm (18.90 inches) high, 18600 g, 18th century. Condition and Provenance: Complete original one-piece tree-shaped shrine. Full gilding with natural signs of aging; some gemstones are missing. No major damage or loss; only minor early restorations; original consecrated objects are missing. Formerly a private collection in San Francisco, California. Returned from Lhasa via Nepal in 1972 and passed down through the same family ever since; never appeared at auction. Description: A beautifully complete 18th-century Tibetan-style gilt bronze tree-shaped shrine triptych. The central shrine houses a four-armed Avalokiteshvara in a lotus posture, with the main hand clasped at the chest and the outer hand holding a lotus flower, with a compassionate and serene expression. The two side shrines house Green Tara and White Tara in relaxed seated postures, with guardian deities adorning the entrances. Intertwined lotus stems form a sacred tree-shaped framework, and below the intricately carved lotus pedestals are two small figures of attendants. Three stupa-shaped finials adorn the top of the niche, decorated with remnants of stone inlays. This exquisitely crafted, multi-layered casting represents a high-level religious architectural complex in Tibetan Buddhism and possesses immense artistic and religious significance.
