A GRAY SCHIST HEAD OF BUDDHA DIPANKARA, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 3RD-4TH CENTURYKushan period. Finely carved, the serene face turned to the right, sensitively modeled with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes below elegantly arched brows, centered by a raised circular urna, the pronounced aquiline nose above full bow-shaped lips framed by a subtle moustache, flanked by elongated earlobes, the hair arranged in long locks forming symmetrical waves and flowing over the dome of his ushnisha, secured by a diadem. The head backed by several blossoms and lotus flowers.Provenance: R. M. Collection, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium, acquired between 1979 and 2009, thence by descent to his wife Marie-Anne Lefevre in 2023. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Expected wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, obvious losses, chips, nicks, scratches.

(2)According to legend, when the Dipankara Buddha announced his visit to the town of Dipavati, the king reserved all the available flowers to offer proper homage. The young ascetic Megha (the Buddha Shakyamuni in a past life), unable to purchase any flowers, met a young girl who had acquired some lotuses by chance. He purchased five from her and persuaded her that in all future lifetimes, she should be his wife. As he tossed the lotuses to Dipankara, they remained suspended in mid-air around the Buddha's head, who then foretold that Megha would become the Buddha in an eternal future life. In gratitude, Megha untied his hair and used it to cover the muddy ground, requesting the Buddha to walk upon it. This scene is depicted in the present example, with the pendant lotus stems framing the Buddha's face against the halo. For a similar example, see Isao Kurita, Gandharan Art I, 2003, p. 10, fig. P1-II.Literature comparison:Compare a related Gandharan schist panel depicting a scene from the Dipankara Jataka, dated ca. 2nd century, 22.2 x 21.3 cm, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 1998.491.
