A turquoise figure of a bodhisattva, Tibet, late 19th Century.

Probably Amitayus seated in padmasana on a high lotus throne, hands in his lap holding a vase, wearing a crown, beads, with embroidered stand covering and presentation box. Height 9,5. Measurement with silk clad box 9x15x5 cm.

Wear, inclusions.

Provenance

From the Collection of Gustaf Wallenberg (1863-1939). The collection was acquired between 1906 and 1918 when Wallenberg was the Swedish Envoyé in Tokyo. From 1907 he was also accredited for Beijing. Thence by descent.

Accompanied by a note written by Gustaf Wallenbergs daughter: ”Dalai Lama visited Peking early in 1900. At the time he paid his expenses with turquoises. My father Gustaf Wallenberg was at the time diplomatic minister to Tokyo and Peking, he bought this Buddha in 1907” (in translation from Swedish).

More information

The black and white images shows Gustaf Wallenberg as well as one of his residences with a photo of the interior at the residence. The one depicted is the one in Tokyo.
