Description

GRAY SCHIST HEAD OF BODHISATTVA, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 3RD/4TH CENTURY. Schist stone of youthful head of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (an enlightened individual who delayed entering paradise in order to help others attain enlightenment.). The Greco-Roman influence in Gandharan art is seen in his facial features, which are both naturalistic and idealized, creating a serene, pensive expression as the bodhisattva looks down; the face with pointed moustache, urna to the brow, copious hair bound with a beaded headband; statue rests on a custom-made stand. Good Condition..
