Tibet – Maschera Mahakala legno e metalli
160,00 €
Intensa Maschera raffigurante Mahakala, il Grande Nero.
Divinità guardiana del dharma e corrispondente a Shiva per gli Induisti, in Tibetano è chiamato Nagpo Chenpo o Gonpo, ‘Signore, Protettore’.
Solitamente di colore nero, può essere come in questo caso anche rosso: elemento costante sono però i cinque teschi che adornano la sua corona, metafora dei dolori dell’uomo che si trasfigurano nei cinque Dhyani Buddha o Budda.
Intagliata in vecchio legno, i dettagli del viso sono realizzati con tre diversi metalli: rame, bronzo e lega d’argento. Questo perché l’unione di più materiali aumenta il potere potere protettivo e di difesa.
Sul retro, il residuo di ceralacca del sigillo doganale che ne testimonia l’autentica provenienza tibetana.
Descrizione
Intense Mask depicting Mahakala, the Great Black, the deity that guards the dharma and that corresponds to Shiva for the Hindus. In Tibetan it is called Nagpo Chenpo or Gonpo, ‘Lord Protector’.
Usually painted in black, this deity can also be represented in red. Its constant elements are, however, the five skulls adorning its crown, a metaphor of human pains that are transfigured in the five Dhyani Buddhas.
Carved in old wood, the facial details are made with three different metals: copper, bronze and silver alloy. This is because the union of materials increases both protective and defensive powers.
On the back, part of the Customs wax seal attesting the authentic Tibetan origin.
