Description

A MARBLE HEAD OF BUDDHA, TANG DYNASTY

Expert authentication: Dr. Chang Qing has authenticated this lot, identifying its iconographic and stylistic characteristics as typical of Tang Dynasty images found in Hebei province. A notarized copy of Dr. Chang’s expertise, dated April 17, 2021, in the State of New York, accompanies this lot.
Dr. Chang holds a Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Kansas and has held prestigious positions, including post-doctoral fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and senior research fellow at the Freer and Sackler Galleries of the Smithsonian Institute. He has conducted extensive research in China, participating in archaeological excavations at various historical sites. Dr. Chang is the author of several influential works, including Compassionate Beings in Metal and Stone: Chinese Buddhist Sculptures from The Freer Gallery of Art (2016) and Light of the Buddha in the Desert: Essays on Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang from 5th-14th Centuries (2012). He is currently a professor at Arts College, Sichuan University.

China, 618-907. Exemplifying the classical elegance of Tang sculpture, this piece is finely carved from exceptionally high-quality stone. The round face conveys a serene demeanor, with heavy-lidded, downcast eyes beneath arched brows, a slender nose, and a sharply defined mouth with bow-shaped lips and a finely pronounced philtrum. The large ears with pendulous lobes frame the face, while the hair is meticulously arranged in wide, stylized curls over the high domed ushnisha.

Provenance: From a private collection in New York, United States.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, nicks and scratches, encrustations, and signs of weathering and erosion. Naturally grown, light amber patina.
