CROWNED STANDING BUDDHA
Item Details
Description
bronze,
Kashmir, 9th century
H: 16,5 cm
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, full lips and heavy-lidded eyes flanked by pendulous earlobes.
The Buddha is usually depicted in a monk’s simple garments; however, when he wears rich jewelry and a crown, he evokes the special form of Buddha as a cakravartin, or universal monarch. In Kashmir this form also recalls the splendor of the Buddha in heaven, where he reveals himself to the bodhisattvas. Both the high tripartite diadem and tasseled cape reflect Central Asian influence on Kashmiri Buddhist art of this period.
