Ca. 400-500 AD. Gandharan. The Buddha stands with his right hand raised in abhayamudra and his left clutches the folds of his voluminous sanghati and the cascading drapery reveals the soft and fleshy body beneath. The face is finely cast with full lips and heavy-lidded eyes flanked by pendulous earlobes, and the hair is in tight curls over the ushnisha. The bronze is a masterpiece of the Buddha image, illustrating the exquisite fusion of the contemporary Gupta style with the earlier influences of Hellenistic Gandhara. For a comparison piece at the British Museum see https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/A_1958-0714-1. For standing Gandhara bronze Buddha figures compare: U. von Schroeder "Indo-Tibetan Bronzes“ 1981, p. 78ff. Size: L:190mm / W:100mm ; 715g. Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection.
