Description
A MONUMENTAL SILVER INLAID BRONZE SEATED SHAKYAMUNI
The historical Buddha, depicted here as the sage of the diamond throne is seated atop a double-lotus base, displaying the bhumisparshamudra, or earth-touching gesture, in recognition of his defeat of Mara and his achievement of enlightenment. The modeling of the body with broad shoulders and inflated chest which narrows at the waist, as well as the inlay of precious metals to accentuate the hem of the sanghati, are comparable to Pala school sculpture from India, commissioned by a wealthy patron with the means to include costly silver and copper inlay.
Dimension: 14x6x22 cm. Weight 2228 grams.
