GANDHARA SCHIST STONE BUST OF BUDDHA WITH HALO
Item Details
Description
Ca. 100-300 AD. Gandharan. A schist stone torso of a Buddha. He is depicted wearing a flowing robe and a topknot (ushnisha). He is characterised by his arched brow, heavily lidded, half-closed eyes, a bulbous nose, full lips, rounded chin and large, pendulous ears. He is backed by a circular halo. Gandhara was an ancient region in the Peshawar basin in the north-west of the ancient Indian subcontinent (modern north-west Pakistan and South-east Afghanistan). The Kushan period (ca. 75-451 AD) of Gandharan art, to which this figure belongs, was the golden age of artistic production in the area. For more information on Gandharan art, see Jongeward, D. (2019). Buddhist Art Of Gandhara in the Ashmolean Museum. Oxford, Oxford University Press. Size: L:225mm / W:190mm ; 3.1kg. Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection.
