Two paintings of a abbots or patriarch sitting on a small pedestal. One of them holds a vajra in the right hand and a tip of his garment in the left hand. His sandals are underneath the pedestal as well as a ewer. The other priest holds a flat device in his right hand and a tip of his garment in his left hand. Underneath the pedestal are his sandals. Very detailed painting. Black ink, mineral colors, gofun and gold on loosely woven silk (ca. 30 over 14 threads). Japan, ca 14/15th century. The painted areas are built up from 2 panes of silk each, stitched together in broad stitches, consistent with the Muromachi period. Frames: ca. 54 ½ x 25 5/8 inches (ca. 140 x 66 cm). Mounting scrollers cut off and framed with mounting. Very good condition. |
