Ancient Indian Gupta Terracotta Bust of Buddha

Item Details

Description

India, Gupta Period, ca. 320 to 550 CE. The Gupta Period is sometimes referred to as the "Golden Age", when the image of the Buddha that you are probably familiar with became set in stone (literally) through beautiful pieces of art like this one. This is a fragment of a larger terracotta sculpture that was probably removed from a temple wall by British colonizers during the 19th or early 20th centuries, when Indian Buddhist art became hugely fashionable in the West. The Buddha's face is beautifully carved, showing oversized eyes, a small mouth, and flowing lines to suggest eyebrows and a nose. He has elongated ears and a small urna, a dot placed on the forehead that symbolizes the third eye. Size: 4.5" L x 4" W x 4.5" H (11.4 cm x 10.2 cm x 11.4 cm)
