Katalognummer: CA0919-356 A GILT-BRONZE GANKYIL RITUAL BOWL Tibet, 13th – 14th Century. Finely worked with a central medallion bearing the “wheel of joy” composed of three swirling and interconnected blades, within a chrysanthemum lappet circle in high relief and an incised key fret border. Provenance: British private collection. Old collector’s inscription to base finely painted in black lacquer: “No 182 HOXMO TIBET” Condition: Excellent condition with wear and traces of extensive use as expected from a metalwork from this period. Very slightly warped. Weight: 256.1 grams Dimensions: 16.5 cm This unusual bowl combines various stylistic and technical aspects. While the scalloped petal frieze evolves out of Roman and Central Asian prototypes, the Gankyil medallion is a distinctly Tibetan element. The vessel is a repoussé-work from a massive copper-bronze sheet and bears both fine incision work and a thick layer of superb fire-gilding indicating its importance at ritual ceremonies of the period. Auction result comparison: Compare with an earlier silver repoussé bowl of similar size and with a related chrysanthemum lappet circle, sold at Christies, New York, on March 25th, 2004, in INDIAN AND SOUTHEAST ASIAN ART INCLUDING INDIAN PAINTINGS, lot 31. 銅鎏金喜旋法器 西藏， 十三至十四世紀。法器中央是一個吉祥喜旋，三旋，四周高浮菊花瓣紋 。 來源：英國私人收藏，底部黑漆老收藏標簽 “No 182 HOXMO TIBET”。 品相：保存極好，有磨損和嚴重使用痕跡，與其年代相符。輕微扭曲。 重量： 256.1 克 尺寸： 16.5 厘米 Schätzpreis 估價: € 1.000 Startpreis 起拍價: € 500 -
