Fired clay. Gandhara , approx. 2nd to 3rd cent.
Very rare piece, portraying Buddha Shakyamuni with an exceptionally spirited, strongly messianic expression, not immersed in meditation as in a later period. The eyes are wide open, the gaze lightly raised. Sensitive harmony of eyelids, brows and nose. The very thick curly hair is not generalized, but rather youthful and natural. Accordingly, ushnisha formed as a hair bun. Original cold painting over the primer is still partly preserved, the skin is brownish, lips red, pupils and hair intense black. On a discreet black metal base.
HEIGHT (WITHOUT BASE) 19,7 CM, (WITH) 25,6 CM
