A STUCCO HEAD OF BUDDHA, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA

Item Details

Description

A STUCCO HEAD OF BUDDHA, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA

Kushan Empire, 3rd-4th century. Finely modeled, the oval face with deep-set half-closed eyes, elegantly arched brows, and bow-shaped lips forming a benevolent smile, the hair arranged in undulating strands.

Provenance: Christie's, 10 October 1984, lot 244 (according to label). A private collection in the Netherlands, acquired form the above, and thence by descent within the family. The base with a collector's label inscribed 'Gandhara Stucco Buddha, 5th century', an inventory number, '12', and a label from Christie's inscribed '10.10.84. 244'.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, losses, nicks, chips, scratches.

Weight: 2.6 kg (incl. base)
Dimensions: Height 17.5 cm (excl. base) and 25 cm (incl. base)

Mounted to a modern base. (1)

In addition to schist, stucco was a popular medium for sculpture in the ancient Gandhara region. A lightweight, malleable ware, stucco readily lends itself to delicate detailing and sensitive modeling, conveying an emotional presence exemplified in this fine head of Buddha. With idealized proportions and beatific expression, the serene figure is the embodiment of compassion.
