A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF BUDDHA
NEPAL, 15TH CENTURYHimalayan Art Resources item no.61909 12 1/8 in. (30.7 cm) high
注脚
尼泊爾 十五世紀 銅鎏金佛陀像 This sizable bronze is finely modeled with preferred physiognomic features in Nepalese Buddha images, such as a broad forehead framed by a straight hairline, full and round shoulders transitioning to robust arms, and tightly-fitted robes revealing a well-defined torso. The fingers and toes are well articulated, as is the hem of the robe – draping over Buddha's left shoulder in three pleats, rather than a more typical fishtail shape. The stylized treatment of Buddha's undulating eyebrows is redolent of the painted face on Boudhanath stupa in Kathmandu. Compare his forehead, hairline, and robust arms and shoulders to a gilt bronze Akshobhya published in von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 2003, p.363, 97E.
