작품 상세

Dimensions: Height 33 cm Wide 20 cm Depth 16 cm without base Weight 7771 grams with base Carved red sandstone head of the Buddha, depicted with a calm and benevolent expression, the gently smiling lips and downcast eyes conveying meditative serenity. The face is framed by elongated earlobes, emblematic of renunciation, and surmounted by a tall, tapering ushnisha, symbolising spiritual attainment and enlightenment. The modelling reflects the Mandalay stylistic tradition of the 19th century, characterised by softly rounded facial features, arched brows, and a balanced, harmonious expression. The surface retains traces of age-related wear and weathering, lending the sculpture an appealing sense of antiquity and devotional use. The reverse and sides show the traditional treatment of the hair and head form, while the neck is truncated. For lots marked with (R), a 19% VAT is added to the combined hammer price and commission.
