Standing gilt-bronze figures of Buddha Shakyamuni of this age, stature, and importance rarely appear on the market. Compare with a similarly-dated gilt-bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara, slightly larger in size than the present figure, from The Collection of Robert H. Ellsworth, sold at Christie’s New York, 17 March 2015, lot 25 (Fig. 1). See, also, a gilt-bronze figure of Padmapani from The Doris Wiener Collection, sold at Christie’s New York, 20 March 2012, lot 92 (Fig. 2). Also note a smaller, 14th century seated figure of a crowned Buddha, sold at Christie’s New York, 19 March 2014.
