Item Details
Description
Ca. 200-300 AD. Buddha is wearing a monastic robe covering both shoulders, draped low at the neckline and falling in dense folds down the front of the body in the typical fashion. The edge of the fabric is held in his left hand while the right hand, now missing, probably formed the abhayamudra pose, the gesture of reassurance. The figure leans his weight onto his right leg with the hip curved outwards, allowing the left leg to flex and the left knee can be seen pushing through the fabric, which sways with the movement. Buddha's face is oval and small, eyes shaped downcast, nose acqueline, lips forming a gentle smile, and the furrowed brow displaying a raised urna between arched eyebrows. He stands on a plinth which is decorated with two worshippers and an alter holding an offering.
