Lot details

Ancient region of Gandhara, 2nd-4th century. Finely carved as a young man with curled hair, almond-shaped eyes, and full lips, the robe draped over his left shoulder, cascading in voluminous folds and covering only his legs, revealing the loincloth.

Provenance: From an old private collection in Paris, France.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, minor nicks and scratches, few structural cracks.

Weight: 5,263 g

The kingdom of Gandhara lasted from 530 BC to 1021 AD, when its last king was murdered by his own troops. It stretched across parts of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan. Gandhara is noted for its distinctive style in Buddhist art, which developed out of a merger of Greek, Syrian, Persian and Indian artistic influence. Gandharan style flourished and achieved its peak during the Kushan period, from the 1st to the 5th century. In the first century AD, Gandhara was the birthplace of some of the earliest Buddhist images.

Your bid limit will be the maximum amount you can bid during the auction. Your bid limit is for the hammer price and is not affected by the buyer’s premium and VAT.  For example, if you have a bid limit of €1,000 and place two winning bids for €300 and €200, then you will only be able to bid €500 for the rest of the auction.
