CHINESE NORTHERN QI DYNASTY STONE TORSO OF BODHISATTVA
Item Details
Description
Ca. 549-577 AD (or later). A grey stone torso of a standing Buddha. The torso stands upright, and wears a light, billowing robe gathered by a belt around the navel. The folds of the robe had been elegantly moulded to create a sense of motion. Long chains of clustered beads hang from the neck. The Northern Wei dynasty ruled northern China from ca. 386 to 534 AD and its most famous achievement was unifying a large empire following a long period of social and political turbulence. However, craftsmen working under this dynasty were also responsible for beautiful works of art, many of which relate to the Buddhist religion, as this object exemplifies.Size: L:572mm / W:55mm ; 13.26kgProvenance: East Anglian private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong.
