AN INDIAN WHITE MARBLE STATUE OF BUDDHA seated in lotus position on a high raised lotus throne, 39cm high Condition Report: Available upon request

3th-4th century AD. A grey stucco head of a bodhisattva with traces of pink pigment, elaborate curled hairstyle with circlet to the brow and lateral scrolled plaques; mounted on a custom-made stand. The Remains of Happiness, The Dr. & Mrs Kurokawa Collection, vol.2, 2001, p.71, no.241. 8.2 kg total, 48cm including stand (19"). From an old Tokyo collection; previously the property of a Japanese gentleman since the late 1990s; accompanied by copies of the relevant pages as published in The Remains of Happiness, The Dr. & Mrs Kurokawa Collection, vol.2, 2001, p.71, no.241. The head probably comes from a statue on the perimeter of a Buddhist temple or shrine, where its large size and imposing features would have inspired reverence among worshippers. By the fourth century AD monumental imagery became increasingly common in Gandhara, almost exclusively restricted to images of the Buddha himself but here the presence of the turban and some decorative features imply that this may indeed be a rare representation of Shakyamuni prior to his enlightenment. Alternatively, the head may have formed part of a triad of such figures. [No Reserve] Fine condition. Rare.

3rd century AD. A carved schist stele depicting Buddha seated on a lotus-leaf dais, nimbus to the rear and six small nimbate figures flanking him; mounted on a custom-made stand. 24.8 kg total, 61cm including stand (24"). From an old Tokyo collection; previously the property of a Japanese gentleman since the late 2000s. The statue records an incident from the life of Buddha which marked a turning point in the dissemination of Buddhist teaching. Challenged to a contest of miracle performance by the six leaders of other philosophical schools, Buddha moved from city to city always accepting the trial but delaying the time of the contest. Finally, at Shravasti, Buddha agreed to demonstrate his power and performed a series of miraculous feats (creating a marvellous tree, mountains and lakes made from jewels, radiating light from his skin and teaching the doctrine of dharma to enlighten all who heard it) and used the vajra lightning weapon to destroy the seats of his detractors. The followers of the other leaders then all recognised the purity of Buddha's power and accepted his teachings. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

2nd-4th century AD. A finely executed statue of Buddha in schist, standing upright in formal pose on a dais in a loosely draped sanghati robe extending to below the knees with the bare feet resting on the rectangular plinth, beaded swags to the neck and hair carefully carved with a chignon above the ushnisha, serene facial features and heavy-lidded almond eyes, nimbus to the rear of the head, left hand holding a gathered fold of the cloth garment; tiered plinth with frieze of standing four figures flanking a vessel, columns to the corners; mounted on a custom-made stand. 32.7 kg, 89cm (35"). Property of a London gentleman; previously with central London gallery; imported from the USA in the early 1970s; formerly with Mahboubian Gallery, New York since the late 1960s; accompanied by copies of an early 1970s black and white photograph. The Gandharan tradition of portraying Buddha as a youthful male developed during the 1st century AD and lasted until at least the 7th century. It drew on the local artistic conventions of the Swat valley, but was heavily influenced by classical Graeco-Roman ideas. During the reign of the Indian emperor Ashoka (3rd century BC), Gandhara was the source of intensive Buddhist missionary activity. Alongside some influential depictions of Buddhist legends and scenes from the life of Buddha, the Gandharan school of art incorporated a range motifs and techniques from Roman art, including vine scrolls, cherubs bearing garlands, tritons, and centaurs. The art flourished during the Kushan dynasty's rule (1st-4th century AD"). The dynasty relied on trade with the Mediterranean world for its wealth, and its coins and other artistic output depict a unique mix of Asian and European themes. Very fine condition.

2nd-4th century AD. A schist statue of Buddha sitting cross-legged in relaxed and meditative pose on a tapering base with nimbus to the rear of the head, wavy hair dressed in a top-knot over the ushnisha, serene expression to the youthful face with heavy lidded eyes and small pursed mouth, urna to the brow, loosely draped robe and sanghati mantle, the hands folded palm-upwards in the lap; mounted on a custom-made stand. 44.5 kg, 82cm including stand (32 1/4"). Property of a London gentleman; previously with central London gallery; imported from the USA in the early 1970s; formerly with Mahboubian Gallery, New York since the late 1960s; accompanied by original early 1970s black and white photograph. The figure is carved in a relaxed pose with the hands placed palm-upwards, eyes closed in contemplation of the infinite. Buddha 'the enlightened one' indulges in various forms of meditation in order to pursue equanimity and mindfulness (sati) using moral restraint and a wholesome frame of mind as means. This system was developed by Buddha as an alternative to the very painful regime of self-denial and asceticism which was prevalent in the east of India during his lifetime, but maintaining distance from the passing rewards of sensual pleasure through food, sex and other indulgences. The so-called 'Middle Way' proved a more rewarding and balanced approach to gaining spiritual awakening. Very fine condition.
