Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Fragmentary ritual water vessel with an elephant spout, and lid with a seated youthful male. Pakistan (ancient region of Gandhara), 1st century. Bronze. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Such vessels were important to the Buddhist community at Gandhara, as pouring water marked ritual actions. Given its early date, this vessel was likely used in conjunction with the veneration of relics that were housed in stupas (relic mounds) though in later centuries water was also poured on devotional images. On the basis of metallurgical analysis, a single workshop appears to have fabricated this water vessel, the encense burner and the small bronze Buddha suggesting a common date of production.
Français : Eléments d’une verseuse à eau rituelle avec un bec en forme d’éléphant, couvercle : un homme jeune assis. Gandhara, 1er siècle. Bronze. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ces verseuses étaient importantes pour la communauté bouddhiste au Gandhara, car la libation d’eau marquait chaque rituel. Compte tenu de sa date précoce, cette verseuse a probablement été utilisée en conjonction avec la vénération de reliques placées dans des stupas. Bien des siècles plus tard l'eau est aussi répandue sur les images dévotionnelles. Sur la base de l'analyse métallurgique, un seul atelier semble avoir fabriqué cette verseuse, le brûle-parfum et le petit Bouddha en bronze du Musée, ce qui suppose donc une date commune de production pour ces trois pièces. |
