The hair arranged in tight curls over the gently domed ushnisha.Provenance: Collection of Louis Auguste de Bourmont, Liège, Belgium. La Balaustra Antichità, Arte Archeologia classica orientale e precolombiana, 1997, Bologna, Italy, acquired from the above.

Paolo Bertuzzi (1943-2022) was a fashion stylist from Bologna. He was the son of Enrichetta Bertuzzi, founder of Hettabretz, a noted Italian fashion company with customers such as the Rothschild family, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Paolo Bertuzzi later took over his mother's business and designed exclusive pieces, some of which were exhibited in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. He was also an avid collector of antiques for more than sixty years. His collection includes both archaic and contemporary art, and he edited two important books about Asian art, Goa Made - An Archaeological Discovery, about a large-scale archaeological project carried out with the Italian and Indonesian governments, and Majapahit, Masterpieces from a Forgotten Kingdom.Condition: Excellent condition with expected ancient wear, casting irregularities, traces of weathering, erosion, soil encrustations, material fatigue.

It also was the first unified kingdom to dominate much of the Malay Archipelago. Due to its location, the powerful state over time developed more and more complex technology utilizing maritime resources. The rise of the Srivijayan Empire was therefore also parallel to the end of the Malay seafaring period.Literature comparison: Compare a related copper alloy figure of Buddha granting boons, with similarly raised U-shaped folds, Western Indonesia, 8th century, 41 cm, exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lost Kingdoms: Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Early Southeast Asia, 5th to 8th Century, 14 April-27 July 2014, cat. no. 52.
