Description

A SMALL STUCCO HEAD OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 3RD-4TH CENTURY

Expert’s note: The present stucco head is notably smaller in scale than most Gandharan Buddha heads of its period, a feature that enhances its refined character. A closely related example can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 31.106.9, dated to the 4th century, which shares a similarly rendered hairline and serene facial expression.

Finely carved, the serene face is modeled with a meditative expression, marked by deeply set eyelids and elegantly arched brows, his lips forming a calm smile, the wavy hair piled up into a high topknot and flanked by pendulous earlobes with slits.

Weight: 300 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 8.6 cm (excl. stand), 18 cm (incl. stand)

Provenance: Le Floch, Paris, 10 November 2022, lot 67. A noted private collection in the Czech Republic, acquired from the above.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Expected wear, obvious losses to the back of the head and the earlobes, possibly minor old repairs, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, small chips and nicks.

With an associated stand. (2)

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.

Museum comparison:
Compare a closely related stucco head of Buddha, Gandhara, dated to the 4th century, 6.7 cm (high), in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 31.106.9.
