サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「These two very rare 15th-century Tibetan gilt-copper alloy figures of deities represent two of the Eight Lords of the Horse, ashvapati, in the retinue of Vaishravana, the god of wealth and fortune and protector of Buddhist teachings. Each carries a mongoose, Vaishravana’s principal attribute, symbolising prosperity and generosity. Vaishravana retinue deities are generally perceived as equestrian warrior lords riding through cloud filled skies, indicated here by the clouds beneath the horses’ hooves. On view in our #London galleries as part of our Important #Chinese Art sale on 15 May. #SothebysAsianArt」5月14日 16時23分
