拍品描述 翻译
India, Uttar Pradesh, Mathura, circa 5th century AD. Sensitively carved with soft, gentle curves and covered in tightly coiled curls arranged in symmetrical rows. The half-closed eyes with heavy lids conveying a meditative state of deep contemplation. The ears with elongated lobes, symbolizing the renunciation of material wealth. The reverse is flat and unfinished, indicating it was possibly once part of a wall relief or monumental stele.Expert's note:The absence of a body makes it difficult to ascertain the exact deity, as the work shares several characteristics with images of both Buddhas and Tirthankaras from the Gupta period. Based on stylistic similarities with works in major collections, such as a figure of Buddha by the artist Dinna, dated 434-435, in the Government Museum, Mathura, we can conclude that this bust was likely part of a larger statue made by a follower of the same school or workshop.Provenance: From a private collection in Los Angeles, United States.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, nicks, chips, losses, and structural fissures.Weight: 10.6 kg (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 27 cm (excl. stand), 39 cm (incl. stand)Mounted to a modern stand. (2)This head of the Buddha reflects the late Gupta artistic idiom. In an effort to represent the Buddha's enlightenment and his inward-looking meditative nature, the artist abstracted and idealized his physical features, especially evident in the articulation of the eyes and the intersecting convex planes of his cheeks and forehead.Kumaragupta was an emperor of the Gupta Empire, believed to have ascended the throne around 415 AD. Evidence indicates that various faiths, including Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Buddhism, and Jainism, flourished during Kumaragupta's reign. During this period, the Mathura style reached its zenith, with statues becoming draped in long, pleated robes and featuring faces marked by aquiline noses, heavy eyelids, tight curls, and large ears with pendulous lobes.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Mathura stone head of Buddha dated to the fifth century in the Government Museum, Mathura, museum number 1223, illustrated by V.S. Agravala, Catalogue of the Archaeological Museum at Mathura, 1952, pt. 3, p. 92, and in the Virtual Museum of Images & Sounds, accession number 1618. Compare a closely related Mathura stone head of Buddha, dated late 5th to early 6th century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 1989.236.1. For a closely related head of a Buddha, see an example included in the exhibition Across the Silk Road: Gupta Sculptures and their Chinese Counterparts during 400-700 AD, Fujian Museum, Fuzhou, 2016-2017.
