(2)Due to its location on the caravan trade routes through central India, Mathura was for centuries an important economic center. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries, it became a capital for the mighty Kushan Empire. During this time, both in Mathura and the region of Gandhara simultaneously, images of Buddha began to appear in anthropomorphic form for the first time. In contrast to Gandhara, where Graeco-Roman concerns for naturalism were stressed, the body types of the Mathura Buddhas convey an idealized Indian vitality.Literature comparison: Compare a related Indian red sandstone head of Buddha, dated to 1st-2nd century, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 28.97.2.Auction result comparison:Type: Near identicalAuction: Christie's New York, 19 March 2014, lot 1069Price: USD 60,000 or approx.
