BRONZE SEATED BUDDHA
3rd - 4th Century AD
Code: J0001 - Price: POA
A rare Gandharan bronze seated image of Buddha. Seated on a lotus throne, his robes spilling down at centre and head held high, with a serine expression, aquiline nose, protruding urna and elongated ear lobes. The face is surmounted by the usnisa and his hair rendered in tight curls and eyes inlaid with silver. His left hand raised to hold the lotus blossom by its stem while the right is out stretched in abhaya mudra. The patina of the bronze suggests a high silver content in the casting of this image.
