See Ingholt, H., Gandharan Art in Pakistan, New York, 1957; Liu, X., Ancient India and Ancient China: Trade and Religious Exchange, AD 1–600, Oxford University Press, 1994; Taddei, M. ‘Afghanistan, Sculpture’ in Dictionary of Art, New York, 1996; Zwalf, W., A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture in the British Museum, 2 vols., London: British Museum Press, 1996; Behrendt, K.A., The Art of Gandhara in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2007; Brancaccio, P., The Buddhist Caves at Auraganbad: transformation in Art and Religion, Leiden-Boston, 2011.1.6 kg total, 22cm including stand (8 1/2"). Ex property of a London lady; formerly in the David Lindhal collection since 1969; accompanied by an archaeological expertise by Dr. Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10408-169982. Gandharan control of the high mountain passes was vital to the international commerce of the sea routes cross the Arabian Sea, which supplied an expanding overland trade through Gandhara and continued on to Central Asia and China. This made the region wealthy and the resulting cosmopolitan elites of Gandhara became some of the most powerful Buddhist patrons in all of South Asia. Buddhism probably reached Gandhara as early as the 3rd century BC; sculptures representing Buddha began to be present from the 1st or 2nd century AD. The hairstyle of our bronze, the form of his robes, and the treatment of the drapes, reflect stylistic contacts with the classical traditions of the West. The sensitive modelling of the head and face has an expressive quality not seen in the more formal images in stone from this period. The depictions of the Buddha seated on a platform over which a plain cloth is draped. The way in which the drapery folds, suggest that this is a cloth of medium weight, but in our example, the Buddha is seated on a low, backless throne and the textile over the throne is thick and elaborately decorated. The decoration occurs in vertical panels, of which the centre panel is almost a square and shows the embroidery with the two bodhisattvas, the enlightened beings who have put off entering paradise in order to help others attain enlightenment. The figure of the central Buddha flanked by the bodhisattvas is well visible in the Gandhara art, and a similar example to our small sculpture is the beautiful image of the Aurangabad cave no.5, interior shrine, where the main Buddha in padm?sana is flanked by bodhisattvas. Very fine condition.
2nd-4th century AD. A carved schist panel comprising: a scene with standing Buddha with left hand raised to the shoulder, the right hand holding an offering on a raised plinth with palm tree behind; to either side six disciples and dancers; mounted on a custom-made stand. See Jongeward, D., Buddhist Art of Gandhara in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 2018, for discussion.14 kg, 39cm (15 1/4"). Property of a West London gentleman; from a private collection since 1989. Gandhara is noted for the distinctive style of its Buddhist art, which developed from a merger of Greek, Syrian, Persian, and Indian artistic influences. This development began during the Parthian Period (50 BC - AD 75) but is most notable for the Hellenistic styles that developed their unique forms through contact with Indian artistic traditions. The Gandharan style flourished and achieved its peak during the Kushan period, from the 1st to the 5th centuries. It declined and was destroyed after the invasion of the White Huns in the 5th century. Prior to the arrival of the Greeks to the area the Buddha was only represented through symbols, such as a wheel, or foot prints and an empty throne, as there was a ban on the depiction on the Buddha in art. Due to the increased influence of Hellenistic culture the Buddha was eventually depicted in statues and paintings, often with the features of Greek deities or Alexander the Great. Fine condition.
