A BLACK STONE FIGURE OF CHAKRASAMVARA, TIBET, 17TH CENTURY OR EARLIER Chakrasamvara and his fierce consort Vajravarahi embracing in alidhasana over prone figures, the four-headed tutelary deity holds various attributes in his twelve radiating arms, the principal hands holding a vajra and ghanta and the uppermost draping a tiger skin over his back, adorned with a garland of severed heads. The consort with her right arm raised, holding a kartika while her left drapes around his neck, her head flung back to look into his face, both within a flaming aureole and above a lotus base. Dimensions: Height 18 cm The vision of Twelve-armed Samvara in an ecstatic, dance-like embrace with his consort Vajravarahi is one of the most exquisite subjects in Vajrayana Buddhist art. Meaning ‘Wheel of Bliss’ in Sanskrit, the union of the two deities is known as Chakrasamvara, as represented in this near-complete example. The deities embody the attainment of the highest yoga tantra tradition and Tibetan Buddhism's supreme ideal: the skilled union of perfect wisdom (Vajravarahi) and compassion (Samvara). Literature comparison: Compare a closely related Tibetan sculpture of Chakrasamvara, sold at Christie’s New York, September 2008, and illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources, item number 22483. Compare a related Tibetan sculpture of Chakrasamvara, illustrated in Jicheng Li, Shoukang Gu, and Song Kang, The Realm of Tibetan Buddhism, 1985, and on Himalayan Art Resources, item number 13174. Compare two earlier Pala examples preserved in Tibetan monastery collections, illustrated in Ulrich von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, Hong Kong, 2001, p. 385, pl. 123C-D; and another in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 1988.392.

EUR 20,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing Expert remark: Compare the closely related modeling and wrathful expression. Note the larger size (27.6 cm).
