Description

A LARGE GRAY SCHIST HEAD OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 1ST-4TH CENTURY

Expert’s note: This head was once part of a monumental frieze, from which it was removed a long time ago. It shares this property with a near identical head that currently resides in the Musée Guimet in Paris, and which is known among collectors from all over the world.

Kushan Empire. Finely carved and sensitively modeled in a serene expression with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes showing a steadfast gaze, elegantly arched brows centered by a raised circular urna, a long aquiline nose, full bow-shaped lips below a neatly incised wavy mustache, and a broad rounded chin, all framed by wavy hair combed into a topknot secured by a beaded band.

Provenance: From the collection of Philippe Deridder (1950-1988), Belgium, acquired in the 1980s and thence by direct descent.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, nicks, few structural cracks, remnants of pigment, few specks of gilt.

Weight: 21.4 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 41 cm (excl. stand), 51.5 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted to a modern metal stand. (2)

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related head of Buddha, similarly lacking the back half, dated 1st-3rd century, 51 cm high, in the Musée Guimet, Paris.
