Lot 387
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.
Lot 386
2nd-4th century AD. A substantial youthful and benign grey schist statue of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara on a plinth, standing erect wearing a dhoti and sandals with swags of beads and braided ornaments to the neck, sanghati mantle draped elegantly over the left shoulder; the face with pointed moustache, urna to the brow, copious hair bound with a beaded headband; the right hand raised palm-outwards in the mudhra gesture of reassurance, the left hand holding a censer; the plinth with segmented panels; mounted on a custom-made stand. 72.0 kg, 120cm (47 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 a original early 1970s black and white photograph. The figure probably represents the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, who is said to embody the compassion of all Buddhas or 'awakened beings'. According to some early Buddhist teachings drawing on pre-existing Hindu tradition, the sun and moon are said to be born from Avalokiteśvara's eyes, Shiva from his brow, Brahma from his shoulders, Narayana from his heart, Saraswati from his teeth, the winds from his mouth, the earth from his feet, and the sky from his stomach. In this way, he has the role of 'primordial being' also seen in the stories of Vedic Yama and Avestan Yima, who are instrumental in creating the world from the remains of a single being. [A video of this item is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.] Very fine condition.
