A BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA, INDONESIA, CENTRAL JAVA, 8TH-9TH CENTURY

Expert's Note: Buddhist art from Indonesia, produced during the 8th and 9th centuries under the patronage of the Shailendra dynasty, reflects a distinctive fusion of regional artistic influences drawn from the Indian subcontinent. The gracefully flowing contours of the body, subtly outlined beneath a diaphanous garment, are reminiscent of the Gupta style from northern India. Additionally, the sloping shoulders and oval face with full cheeks evoke the Buddha images from Sri Lanka's Anuradhapura period, dating to the 7th and 8th centuries. This synthesis of styles highlights the cultural exchange and artistic innovation that characterized the Shailendra period, resulting in works of profound spiritual and aesthetic significance.

Finely cast standing in samabhanga atop a circular double-lotus base, clad in a long close-fitting sanghati draped over his left shoulder. His serene face with heavy-lidded eyes, thick arched brows, raised urna, and full lips. The hair arranged in tight snail-shell curls over the domed ushnisha, backed by a foliate nimbus with raised floral decoration.

Provenance: Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Sergeant, Ghent, Belgium, and thence by descent.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, casting irregularities, small nicks, structural cracks, losses, minor old repairs and touchups. The bronze is covered in a rich, naturally grown patina with extensive malachite encrustations.
