BID HISTORY

DESCRIPTION

Prajnaparamite; Indonesia, Central Java, Majapahit period, 16th century.
White sandstone.
Attached certificate of authenticity from the specialist Ha Thuc Can.
It presents faults and restorations.
Measurements: 99 x 51 x 49 cm.
Stone stele made of white sandstone, which presents a rectangular structure finished in point as if it were an architectural motif that welcomes a figure carved in high relief. The stone is richly carved, in the lower area there is a rectangular body where there are details in relief arranged as a pedestal with lotus leaves schematized as an ornamental detail. On this base is the main figure carved almost in a round bulge, which is established as the main motif of the carving. The figure, as already mentioned, is framed by the stone itself, which has been carved recreating an architectural space. Prajnaparamita means "the Perfection of Wisdom" or "Transcendental Knowledge" in Mah?y?na. Prajnaparamita refers to a perfected way of seeing the nature of reality, as well as to a particular body of scriptures.
Majapahit was a Hindu-Buddhist Javanese empire of Southeast Asia based on the island of Java. Majapahit was one of the last great Hindu-Buddhist empires of the region and is considered one of the largest and most powerful in Indonesian and Southeast Asian history. It is sometimes considered the forerunner of Indonesia's modern frontiers. Majapahit art was the continuation of East Javanese art, style and aesthetics developed since the 11th century during the Kediri and Singhasari period. Unlike the earlier naturalistic, relaxed and fluid figures of the classical Central Javanese style, this East Javanese style shows a more rigid, stylized pose depicted in wayang-like figures, such as those carved in the bas-reliefs of East Javanese temples.
