A SILVER-INLAID BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 5TH-6TH CENTURYScientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 7 December 2024, based on sample number N124n32, sets the firing date of the sample taken between 1300 and 1900 years ago, consistent with the dating above. A copy of the report accompanies this lot.The Buddha stands in samabhanga, his right hand raised in abhayamudra, while the left gathers the folds of the voluminous sanghati, which is draped over both shoulders and cascades to the ankles in heavy, rhythmic folds, subtly revealing the soft, fleshy form beneath. The face is finely cast, with full lips, silver-inlaid eyes and urna, and pendulous earlobes. The hair is arranged in tight curls rising over the domed ushnisha.Provenance: The private collection of Mme. Barbieux, acquired in the late 1980s in Bordeaux, France, and thence by direct descent to her son Eric Dieu. Eric Dieu is a Frenchman who established Galerie Mouhot, a gallery specializing in Khmer Art based in River City Bangkok, named after Henri Mouhot (1826-1861), the mid-19th century naturalist and explorer credited with reintroducing the world to the grandeur of Angkor and the Khmer civilization.Condition: Good condition with ancient wear and expected casting irregularities, signs of prolonged burial, encrustations, traces of weathering and corrosion, small losses, light scratches and minuscule nicks. The back with a small hole from sample-taking, now filled. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina with vibrant malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 1,648.8 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 22.7 cm (excl. stand), 34.7 cm (incl. stand)Mounted on an associated stand. (2)This magnificent figure of Buddha belongs to an extremely rare type of bronze cast in the regions of ancient Gandhara and the Swat Valley in the 5th through 7th centuries. The solidly cast bronze is a masterpiece of the Buddha image, which illustrates the profound marriage of the contemporary Gupta style with the earlier influences of Hellenistic Gandhara.The ancient region of Gandhara, straddling the Khyber Pass in what is now eastern Afghanistan and western Pakistan, was for centuries an important center of trade and commerce due to its position at the crossroads between India, China, and the Mediterranean world. In the centuries before the beginning of the Common Era, the region came under Hellenistic control after Alexander the Great annexed Gandhara to his expansive empire and later the Gangetic regions of central India during the reign of the great Mauryan emperor Ashoka. Buddhism had been well established during this time, with the Indo-Greek king Menander and Ashoka himself acting as important royal propagators of the faith, but it is not until the time of the Kushans in the early centuries CE, almost simultaneously in Gandhara and Mathura in Central India, that images of the Buddha in anthropomorphic form appear.During the 5th and 6th centuries, the period referred to as Post-Gandhara, the production of large Buddhist works in stone and stucco declined, while the creation of smaller scale images in bronze reached a zenith. This phenomenon must be explained in part by the new conditions of Buddhist worship during this time; except for certain sites such as Bamiyan, the large and wealthy monasteries of the previous era had been replaced by smaller, migratory groups of worshipers. The Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang, who traveled to India in the first half of the 7th century, described the situation in Swat as follows: "There had formerly been 1400 monasteries but many of these were now in ruins, and once there had been 18,000 [Buddhist] Brethren but these had gradually decreased until only a few remained."Literature comparison: Compare a related Gandharan bronze figure of Buddha, dated late 6th century, 33 cm high, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 2003.593.2.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 17 September 1998, lot 4Price: USD 112,500 or approx.
