Description

A RARE GILT-DECORATED RED LACQUER 'BAJIXIANG' SUTRA BOX AND COVEREarly 15th century The rectangular box lacquered in vibrant red and decorated with gold-filled incised lines depicting scrolling lotus with the 'Eight Buddhist Emblems' each supported on an blossoming lotus flower, the cover hinged and with a gilt-bronze clasp at the front chased with lotus motifs, the sides of the cover with swirling clouds, the trapezoidal upper section with meandering foliate scrolls, the interior with woven silk lining. 40cm (15 3/4in) long. 十五世紀早期 朱漆戧金八吉祥經盒 Provenance: Christopher Bruckner Asian Art Gallery, London, prior to 2005 Published and Illustrated: Céline and Christopher Bruckner, Chinese Imperial Patronage: Treasures from Temples and Palaces , vol.II, London, 2005, no.3 來源: 2005年前,倫敦Christopher Bruckner亞洲藝術廊 出版著錄: Céline與Christopher Bruckner,《 Chinese Imperial Patronage: Treasures from Temples and Palaces 》,卷二,倫敦,2005年,編號3 pare with a box, probably made in the same workshop, but with a dragon design, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, illustrated by J.Watt and L.D.Patry, Defining Yongle: Imperial Art in Early Fifteenth Century China , New York, 2005, no.21. See also a related large square lacquer box decorated in the same technique with dragon roundels, dated 1389, illustrated by J.M.Addis, Chinese Ceramics from Datable Tombs , London, 1978, pl.32d. The present lot would have been made to hold a Buddhist sutra . Zhu Di (1360-1424), who ruled as the Yongle emperor, was introduced to Tibetan Buddhism and initiated into its practices around 1380, when he was enfeoffed in Beijing. Seeing himself as a universal ruler to rival former Mongol claims to power across the Eurasian continent, he sponsored and tolerated numerous religions including Tibetan Buddhism, which still had strong ties to the Mongol military elite. Following renewed contacts with religious and secular leaders in Tibet, the demand for works and ritual objects depicting Buddhist imagery increased at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1410, the Yongle emperor ordered the production of the Tibetan canon, or Kanjur , in Beijing; see Jiacuo, et al., 'Lasa Xianzang de liangbu Yongle Ganzhuer', Wenwu , 1985, pp.85-88. See two very similar lacquer sutra boxes and covers, Yongle, which were sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 16 November 1998, lot 14, and 3 June 2015, lot 3010.
