Footnotes:
A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF SHADBHUJA MAHAKALA
QING DYNASTY, 18TH/19TH CENTURY

清 十八/十九世紀 銅鎏金六臂大黑天像

Provenance:
With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970s

Shadbhuja Mahakala erupts​ into a flurry of motion, his principal hands clutching a chopper and blood-filled skull cup (kapala) while he leans atop the trampled body of Vinayaka, the Creator of Obstacles. After the Gelugpa order swore an allegiance to the Manchu emperors of the Qing empire, devotional images of their chief protector, the six-armed form of Mahakala, became widespread in China and Mongolia. For other 18th-century examples of this wrathful deity, see a figure in The Art Institute of Chicago (1924.120), and another sold at Bonhams, New York, 19 March 2018, lot 3054.
Condition
Good overall condition with loss to attribute in lower left middle hand. Baseplate is missing, as visible in images. Spots of corrosion evident around the edges of the base and creases of the arms and back through the neck. Lost to gilding on face from cleaning within the culture.
