A SANDSTONE HEAD OF BUDDHA, MATHURA, GUPTA PERIOD, 5TH-6TH CENTURY

Northern India, Uttar Pradesh. Finely carved and sensitively modeled with a serene expression marked by neatly incised downcast eyes below arched brows as well as full bow-shaped lips forming a subtle smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes, the hair arranged in thick snail-shell curls over the ushnisha.

Provenance: From the private collection of Jean Dumoulin, Overijse, Belgium, acquired in Thailand during the mid-1990s. A copy of a provenance statement, written and signed by Jean Dumoulin, dated 2 August 2024, and confirming the above, accompanies this lot. Jean Dumoulin developed a great passion for Asian culture as a young man, and frequently traveled the Asian continent. His private collection of Asian works of art comprises sculptures and objects he acquired in Burma, Thailand, and on the European market.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, structural fissures, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, nicks, scratches.

Weight: 10,283 g (excl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 24.8 cm (excl. stand)

With an associated metal stand. (2)

Deriving from the perceived Golden Age of Indian art and culture, this head of Buddha is modeled with a gentle and serene expression, pendulous earlobes, rounded cheeks, and almond-shaped eyes with well-defined eyelids. His hair is arranged in the customary tight curls, surmounted by a flat ushnisha. In the fourth and fifth centuries, during the reign of the Gupta dynasty in northern India, sculptors formulated several of the features that would become standard for Buddha images. Snail-shell curls replaced other hairstyles, and downcast eyes and a relaxed mouth became the norm. Smaller Buddha images in this style are known to have traveled to Thailand and other distant realms, where they were used as models for locally made icons.
