A RARE MING SANCAI GLAZED STONEWARE FIGURE OF GUANYIN
MING DYNASTY, 16TH CENTURY

The Bodhisattva seated in rajalilasana with one leg pendant and the other raised on the rocky outcrop, with both hands clasped around the right knee, her corpulent figure draped in loose fiiting green robes tied high above the waist with the upper chest exposed, the shoulders covered by a wide scarf draped around the arms with the long ends falling in folds over the rocks, the legs and chest luxuriantly adorned with beads and jewels, the head with a tall chignon behind a bejeweled crown, the buff pottery figure covered in bright green, straw and yellow enamel glazes highlighted in black

菩萨以自在坐姿（rajalilasana）而坐，一腿垂放，另一腿盘曲于山石之上，双手合抱于右膝。体态丰腴，身着宽松绿袍，束带高系于腰际，胸部袒露，肩披宽大帔帛，绕臂而下，长端折迭垂落于山石之上。腿间及胸前以珠串珍宝华丽点缀。发髻高耸于宝冠之后，冠饰镶嵌珠宝。浅褐色陶胎，覆以鲜亮绿、稻黄及黄色釉彩，以黑彩勾勒。

A related sancai-glazed seated figure of Buddha is illustrated by Rene-Yvon Lefevre d'Argence, Chinese, Korean and Japanese Sculpture from the Avery Brundage Collection, Kondasha, Tokyo, 1974, fig. 170. In the catalogue description, the author writes, “The figure belongs to a large series, many of which have reportedly come from Shansi, and is very close to a Buddha now in the Musee Guimet. The Avery Brundage Collection example seems to continue the style of a pottery Buddha, dated 1494, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.” The dated figure in the Metropolitan Museum is illustrated by W. Cox, The Book of Pottery and Porcelain, Vol. 1, New York, 1947, pl. 151.

Compare also to several other massive sancai-glazed Ming figures, a Buddha dated 1617 in the Hong Kong Museum of Art, illustrated by T. Nguyet and S. Markbreiter, 'Hong Kong in Transition, Opening of the New Hong Kong Museum of Art', Arts of Asia, November-December 1991, p. 84; and a group of figures from the collection of Paul Huou Ming Tse, one of which is a Buddha, now in the Avery Brundage Collection, published by Paul Huou Ming Tse, Ta Kou Tchai, Preuves des Antiquites de Chine, Beijing, 1930. Two large standing figures of assistants to the Judge of Hell in the British Museum Collection, London are illustrated by J. Harrison-Hall, Ming Ceramics, London, 2001, pp. 541-543, nos. 19:3 and 19:4. Compare also a pair of sancai glazed figures of bodhisattvas dated to the early 15th century confirmed by the result of a thermoluminescence test, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 28 October 2002, lot 792.

一件相关的三彩釉陶佛坐像，收录于Rene-Yvon Lefevre d'Argence编《Chinese, Korean and Japanese Sculpture from the Avery Brundage Collection》（讲谈社，东京，1974年）图版170。作者在图录说明中写道：“此像属于一个庞大的系列，据说其中许多出自山西，与吉美博物馆所藏的一尊佛像极为接近。Avery Brundage Collection的这尊造像，其风格似乎延续了纽约大都会艺术博物馆藏一件1494年款陶佛的传统。”大都会艺术博物馆那件带年款的造像，收录于W. Cox著《The Book of Pottery and Porcelain》第一卷（纽约，1947年）图版151。

另可比较其他几件大型明代三彩釉陶像：一件1617年款佛像，藏于Hong Kong Museum of Art，收录于T. Nguyet与S. Markbreiter合撰“Hong Kong in Transition, Opening of the New Hong Kong Museum of Art”，载《Arts of Asia》1991年11月/12月刊，第84页；以及Paul Huou Ming Tse旧藏的一组造像，其中一尊佛像现藏于Avery Brundage Collection，出版于Paul Huou Ming Tse著《Ta Kou Tchai, Preuves des Antiquites de Chine》（北京，1930年）。伦敦大英博物馆藏两尊地狱判官侍从大型立像，收录于J. Harrison-Hall著《Ming Ceramics》（伦敦，2001年）第541-543页，编号19:3及19:4。另可比较一对15世纪早期的三彩釉菩萨像，经热释光检测证实其年代，售出于佳士得香港，2002年10月28日，第792号。
