| Description: |
The slender, elegant figure is depicted in a standing pose, originally on top of a socle, with right hand raised in abhaya mudra, and the left hand lowered as it holds the edge of his diaphanous, layered robes that cling to the contours of the body as they fall to just above the ankles, the graceful folds indicated by single or double carved lines. The face is carved with a serene expression, and the hair is dressed in whorl-like curls that also cover the domed ushnisha. A halo adorned his shoulders with stylized lotus petals surround the head. For similar see: H. Munsterberg, Sculpture of the Orient, New York, 1972, pl. 83. Good ancient layered patina with some remaining gilt and red pigment, and scattered surface deposits. Typically missing a large portion of the halo, right hand, feet and left finger tips. Mounted on a custom base. A beautiful example. |
