Condition: Sehr gut. Original softcover binding, 126 pages, numerous illustrations, very good condition. Excellen dealer`s catalogue of a sales exhibition, which took place from Monday 15th November to Tuesday 30th November 1999. Offered were i.a. a very early Manjushri statue from Kashmir, a wonderful Densatil gilt bronze of Acala, a very large wook portrait of a lama of the Kagyu school, a very curious writing set from Tibet with Englishmen on horses and some early rugs. Also on offer was a sculpture of "Lama Lobpai Dorje", Central Tibet, 15th century, cat. no. 27. This catalogue is Spink`s largest Tibet catalogue with huge photos of the objects, other then the others in the series the objects are not described, so there is no information, how this identification is justified. This statue was actually subsequently sold by Christies, New York, in their sale 9474 on 20th September 2000, lot 65 (realising USD 23,500), we have not seen it since then. However, it was not the first publication, Ulrich von Schroeder made a photo of it in 1996, when it was still in Lhasa, part of the collection of the main temple there, the Tsuglakhang, where it had the inventory no. 602[A]. von Schroeder identified the sculpture as Mahapandita (without exactly identifying it; Christies followed this, mentioning that it has no inscription and defies exact identification, speculating that it shows one of the great scholar sages of Indian Buddhism, such as Aryadeva, Dignaga, Gunaprabha, or Buddhapalita). Rare proof that still in the 1990s high quality objects were stolen from Tibetan collections. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 950.…

Condition: Sehr gut. Original softcover binding, 107 pages, numerous illustrations, original price list loosely inserted, very good condition. Excellent sales catalogue, Leonov joined Spinks previously before from St Petersburg`s Eremitage Museum, where he was curator of the Tibetan collection. Spink published only a few cataloges on the art of Tibet in the 1990ies, this is probably the most important. It features i.a. a 11th century Padmapani statue in Pala style with a height of 127 cm - one of the largest figures of this age in the West. Also sculpture from Densatil, i.a. a plaque with 4 goddesses and a marvellous Mahapratisara (one of the 5 Pancaraksha goddesses). 3 early ivory sculptures, although quite small, of the finest quality, at least one from Yuan China in the Khara Khoto style. Last not least a collection of 288 photographs taken by Henry Martin who helped to built the telegraph line from India to Gyantse in 1908, which are unpublished in their majority - 11 at least are published in this catalogue, judging from them they are of excellent quality, fitting to the art in this catalogue. Quite uncommon. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1050. …

Condition: Sehr gut. Original softcover binding, [68] pages, illustrated in colour throughout, very good condition. The first catalogue of Ashencaen/Leonov during their time at Spink`s, already with several excellent pieces. I.a. a very interesting statue of Nairatma, an unusual stone sculpture of Milarepa, a fine, silver inlaid Lama portrait or a small, but very charming Thangka of Buddha, 14th century, described as Western Tibet, looking for us more Southern Tibet. Uncommon Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
