拍品描述
A GRAY SCHIST HEAD OF BUDDHA, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 2ND-3RD CENTURY

Finely carved, the serene face with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes, below elegantly arched brows, centered by a circular urna. The pronounced aquiline nose above full bow-shaped lips, flanked by elongated earlobes, and the hair arranged in long wavy locks over the ushnisha.

Provenance: Collection of Julian Cerne (1938-2023), Slovenia, acquired in Swat, Pakistan in 1983, and thence by descent in the same family. The present lot was gifted to Julian Cerne by Rehman Uddin in gratitude for the work of Cerne’s construction firm Primorje in northern Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, one small repair to the nose and another to the left ear, minor touchups, scratches, small chips and cracks, obvious losses, and encrustations.

Weight: 11.7 kg
Dimensions: Height 31 cm
