拍品描述
Kushan period, probably Hadda. Finely modeled with the hands held in vajra mudra at the chest, wearing a long flowing robe draped over both shoulders and cascading in richly carved folds. The serene face with almond-shaped eyes, elegantly arched brows, and full lips forming a gentle smile, flanked by pendulous earlobes, the hair tight to the scalp and detailed with oblong recesses.Provenance: From the private collection of a military official in the colonial administration in Indochina (present-day Vietnam), assembled between 1937 to 1944, and thence by descent.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Expected wear, obvious losses, small cracks, chips, and scratches, as well as a few old repairs—entirely normal and to be expected for a stucco sculpture over 1,500 years old. Old varnish. Overall, the figure is very well preserved for this fragile medium and considerable age.Weight: 1,116 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 17.7 cm (excl. stand), 20.8 cm (incl. stand)Mounted on a neatly fitted Mahogany stand of European origin, dating from the early to mid-20th century. (2)The use of stucco in Gandharan sculpture, particularly at sites such as Hadda, represents a pivotal moment in the history of Buddhist art. Sculptural production in this medium was central to the period, allowing for rapid construction of large-scale images and architectural decoration, as evidenced by the extensive findings at Takht-i-Bahi, where over 270 sculptures were uncovered, many dating to the 3rd to 5th centuries AD. The speed and flexibility of stucco as a material made it ideal for the dynamic religious patronage of the time, where monumental images were created to adorn both monastic shrines and sacred spaces.Hadda, situated in modern-day Afghanistan, is perhaps the most significant archaeological site for the study of Gandharan stucco. The site reveals the mastery of stucco sculptors who combined Greco-Buddhist styles with Buddhist iconography. Though much of Hadda was destroyed during the civil war and subsequent looting by the Taliban, its profound legacy continues to influence the understanding of Gandharan art.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related stucco bust of Buddha, ancient region of Gandhara, Hadda, Tapa-Kalan monastery, 3rd-4th century, in the Musée Guimet, Paris.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams New York, 17 September 2014, lot 86 Price: USD 10,625 or approx.
