Description
Ca. 386-534 AD A terracotta tile featuring a beautiful depiction of rendered in high relief a seated Buddha wearing rich garments whose pink pigment is marvellously still preserved as is the blue of the halo, the black of the hair and the green drapery above the Buddha. He is performing a mudra - symbolic gestures of the hands and fingers used in Buddhism.This piece has been precisely dated having undergone Thermo Luminescence analysis by Ralf Kotalla, an independent German Laboratory. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. Its TL certificate with full report will also accompany this lot.Size: L:330mm / W:50mm ; 3.41kgProvenance: Property of a North London gentleman; previously acquire on the UK/European art market in the 1980s.
