AN ANDAGU STONE MINIATURE STELE DEPICTING SCENES FROM THE LIFE OF BUDDHA, PAGAN PERIOD

Burma, c. 12th century. Superbly carved, the central Buddha Shakyamuni is seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base under a Bodhi tree, with his right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra, the left held in dhyana mudra above his lap, his serene face with almond-shaped eyes and subtly smiling lips. He is surrounded by smaller figures depicting eight scenes from his life.

Provenance: An old German collection. The private collection of Madame Béatrice Bück-Hennebelle in Luxembourg, acquired from the above on the German auction market.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Wear and natural imperfections including fissures. Some nicks, few scratches, losses, and nibbling around the edges. Minor old repairs and small fills here and there.

Weight: 195.6 g
Dimensions: Height 8.1 cm

The scenes from Buddha’s life depicted in this stele, starting at the bottom and moving clockwise:

  1. The Nativity in which Maya-devi (the Buddha's mother) gives birth to the Buddha in the Lumbini grove, attended by her sister Prajapati.
  2. The Buddha's first sermon in the Deer Park at Sarnath.
  3. The subjugation of Nalagiri, the elephant, which the Buddha prevented from destroying him by overcoming it with love.
  4. On the highway of Rajagrih.
  5. At the apex, Buddha's death (or Parinirvana or Mahaparinibbana), showing him surrounded by his disciples under a small stupa or chaitya.
  6. The descent from Tavatimsa heaven.
  7. The twin miracles, in which flames arise from the Buddha's shoulders and water pours from his feet while at the same time a vast number of images of him appear all over the sky.
  8. And the Parileyyaka episode, in which a monkey offers the Buddha a gift of honeycomb.

Andagu is a metamorphic rock similar to schist and slate, but with a glossier luster to its surface. It also has a particularly fine texture that allows the stone to be carved very precisely and the carver to achieve a much greater amount of detail.

A small number of Buddhist sculptures in this rare stone have survived, and are commonly referred to as Andagu, the site in Myanmar where they were discovered. Highly prized because of its capacity for intricate and highly polished carving, the actual stone may have originally come from Yunnan, China, and then exported to places as far away as Sri Lanka and Tibet via the various Asian trade routes. It is thought that these portable plaques would have been carried on pilgrimage and have been discovered in India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, China and especially Tibet.
