Henry Thompson an importer of Asian Art and antiques and co-founder of the Bollentin and Thompson oriental Rugs, acquired the artifacts during several round the world trips to and after World War I, between 1900 and 1920. The items on this auction were left to Thompsons son - Charles Rose Thompson. A graduate of the Princeton University, Charles Rose Thompson, briefly lent the collection to the Princeton University Art Museum in the 1960s. Later, it has remained in his collection until his death in 1975. References:Buddhism during Southern and Northern Dynasties (420 to 589) and Sui Dynasty (589618 CE)Chn: pointing directly to the mindIn the 5th century, the Chn (Zen) teachings began in China, traditionally attributed to the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma, a legendary figure.[note 2] The school heavily utilized the principles found in the Lakvatra Stra, a stra utilizing the teachings of Yogcra and those of Tathgatagarbha, and which teaches the One Vehicle (Skt. Ekayna) to buddhahood. In the early years, the teachings of Chn were therefore referred to as the ""One Vehicle School.""[33] The earliest masters of the Chn school were called ""Lakvatra Masters", for their mastery of practice according to the principles of the Lakvatra Stra.The principle teachings of Chn were later often known for the use of so-called encounter stories and koans, and the teaching methods used in them. Nan Huai-Chin identifies the Lakvatra Stra and the Diamond Stra (Vajracchedik Prajpramit Stra) as the principle texts of the Chn school, and summarizes the principles succinctly:The Zen teaching was a separate transmission outside the scriptural teachings that did not posit any written texts as sacred. Zen pointed directly to the human mind to enable people to see their real nature and become buddhas.[34]BodhisattvaIn Buddhism, a bodhisattva (Sanskrit: bodhisattva; Pali: bodhisatta) is an enlightenment (bodhi) being (sattva). Traditionally, a bodhisattva is anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.[1] According to Tibetan Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is one of the four sublime states a human can achieve in life (the others being an Arhat, Buddha, or Pratyekabuddha).The bodhisattva is a popular subject in Buddhist art. Usage of the term Bodhisattva has evolved over time. In early Indian Buddhism, for example, the term bodhisattva was primarily used to refer specifically to the Buddha in his former lives.[3][4] The Jatakas, which are the stories of his lives, depict the various attempts of the Bodhisattva to embrace qualities like self-sacrifice and morality.

Width: 5.5 in. = 14 cm; Weight: 3 lb. = 1400 g Condition: part of the decoration, coming from left arm is missing References: Avalokitesvara (Sanskrit: lit. "Lord who looks down") is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. Portrayed in different cultures as either male or female, Avalokitevara is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana Buddhism, as well as unofficially in Theravada Buddhism. The original name for this bodhisattva was Avalokitasvara. The Chinese name Gunshyn Ps () is a translation of the earlier name "Avalokitasvara Bodhisattva." This bodhisattva is variably depicted as male or female, and may also be referred to simply as Gunyn. In Sanskrit, Avalokitesvara is also referred to as Padmapni ("Holder of the Lotus") or Lokevara ("Lord of the World"). In Tibetan, Avalokitesvara is known as Chenrezig, (Wylie: spyan ras gzigs) and is said to emanate as the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa and other high lamas.

Genuine Antique Chinese iron cast Buddha bust, Qing dyn
Low Estimate: 5,000High Estimate: 15,000Original
Genuine Antique Chinese iron cast Buddha bust, Qing dynasty or earlier A Chinese Buddha Head in Cast Iron, the serene face with full lips, half closed eyes, and urna to the forehead, the hair and ushnisha tightly curled, the figure on carved wood stand, with old cracks to the right side of the head and ear. Height: 9 3/8 in. = 23 cm; Base: 9 1/4 in. x 4 in. = 23.5 x 11 cm; Height with wooden stand: 11 in. = 28 cm; Wooden stand: 11 x 7 x 2 in. = 29 x 17 x 4 cm. Weight of the iron Buddha bust: 10 lb. = 4.5 kg; Weight of the stand: 1 lb 3 oz. = 520 g; Total weight Buddha + stand: 11 lb. = 5 kg; Provenance: From a Prominent Atlanta Collection. The ushnisha (Sanskrit, n., , IAST: ua) is a three dimensional oval at the top of the head of the Buddha. It symbolizes his attainment of reliance in the spiritual guide. This protuberance is not the topknot for Prince Siddhartha Gautama cut off his topknot upon leaving the city of Lumbini and crossing the river. The topknot is only worn by the Hindu royalty. Once Prince Siddhartha cut it off he renounced his royal heritage. * "The true Buddha head is bare, covered only with ringlets of hair (plate 560) and surmounted by a peculiar swelling, the "usnia", which is one of the thirty two traditional "great marks" (Maha-Laksana) of the Buddhist superman-savior. Sometimes on the Usnia there is represented a small image of the transcendent Spiritual Buddha from whom the historical savior is an emanation: the supramundane source whence his phenomenal appearance proceeds. But never does the Buddha wear a kingly crown" page 67 (The Art of Indian Asia vol 1. Zimmerman). "The Bodhisattva, it will be remembered, departed from his palace, cross the border-river of his father's Kingdom, and on it's bank severed, with a single stroke of his sword, the tuft of his hair, saying "If it is destined to me to become a Buddha, may my hair and head-cloth remain hanging in the air; if not, let them fall to the ground". A God caught both, transported them to the heaven of the Trayastrimsat Gods, and there a Chaitya-Cudamani was constructed". page 233.The ushnisha was not described initially in the Physical characteristics of the Buddha spelled out by the Buddhist canon. Rather, there are several mentions about a topknot:"His topknot is like a crown." (Secondary characteristics, No 53)"He has a topknot as if crowned with a flower garland." (Secondary characteristics, No 80)The first representations of the Buddha in the 1st century CE in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara also represent him with a topknot, rather than just a cranial knob. It is thought that the interpretation of the ushnisha as a supernatural cranial protuberance happened at a later date, as the representation of the topknot became more symbolized and its original meaning was lost (Mario Bussagli, "L'art du Gandhara").

References: Gandhra (Sanskrit/Hindi: Gandr, Urdu/Punjabi: , Pashto: ,'; also known as Waihind in Persian),[citation needed] is the name of an ancient kingdom (Mahajanapada), located in northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan. Gandhara was located mainly in the valley of Peshawar, the Potohar plateau (see Taxila) and on the Kabul River. Its main cities were Purushapura (modern Peshawar), literally meaning City of Man[1] and Takshashila (modern Taxila). The Kingdom of Gandhara lasted from the early 1st millennium BC to the 11th century AD. It attained its height from the 1st century to the 5th century under the Buddhist Kushan Kings. The Hindu term Shahi is used by history writer Al-Biruni to refer to the ruling Hindu dynasty that took over from the Turki Shahi and ruled the region during the period prior to Muslim conquests of the 10th and 11th centuries. After it was conquered by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1021 CE, the name Gandhara disappeared. During the Muslim period the area was administered from Lahore or from Kabul.
