- Lot Description
<i>This lot is oversized / heavy and will require 3rd party shipping - please inquire before bidding. </i><br><br>South Asia, India, Gupta Empire / Thailand, Dvaravati Kingdom, ca. 5th to 8th century CE. A large stone carving of a standing figure, presumed to be the Buddha, draped in a sheer robe that cascades in folds and pleats. Although fragmentary, the bent arms suggest the figure once held a mudra gesture of reassurance. Carved in-the-round, this piece may have originally been intended as a free-standing sculpture. The Dvaravati Kingdom adopted many elements from the Indian Gupta Empire (ca. 4th to 6th century CE), especially in its depictions of the Buddha and Buddhist iconography. For example, the serene and graceful representation of the Buddha with distinct folds in the robes, as well as the mudra gestures, are characteristics shared between Gupta and Dvaravati art. Size: 11" L x 6" W x 33" H (27.9 cm x 15.2 cm x 83.8 cm); 37" H (94 cm) on included custom stand.
