貴霜帝國灰泥浮雕佛像梯形壁龕
Sold for €5,056
including Buyer's Premium
Ancient region of Gandhara, 2nd-3rd century. Seated in dhyanasana with the hands lowered in dhyanamudra, wearing a monastic robe cascading in voluminous folds, the serene face with heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes below gently arched brows, a prominent nose, and full lips forming a subtle smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes, the hair pulled up into a topknot, all within a trapezoidal niche.
Provenance: Collection of Jean-Marc Andral, acquired c. 2000 from Robert Lorenzelli, Versailles, France. Jean-Marc Andral is a Belgian manager based in Brussels and active in the healthcare industry for over 25 years.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, signs of weathering and erosion, structural cracks, encrustations, nicks and scratches, possibly old minor touchups. Displaying remarkably well overall.
Weight: 12.3 kg
Dimensions: Height 30 cm, Width 36 cm
Expert’s note: The present lot closely relates to a relief seen at Taxila. Taxila (Takshashila in Sanskrit) was an important city of Ancient India, situated at the pivotal junction of the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia, on the eastern shore of the Indus River. Some ruins at Taxila date to the time of the Achaemenid Empire in the 6th century BCE, followed successively by the Mauryan Empire, Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian, and Kushan Empire periods. By some accounts, the University of Ancient Taxila, founded c. 10th century BC and abandoned by the 5th century AD, was considered to be one of the earliest universities in the world. It was particularly renowned for science, especially medicine, and the arts, but also both religious and secular subjects were taught, and even subject such as archery or astrology. Many Jataka of early Buddhist literature mention students attending the university.
