Herkunft: Indonesien. Süd-Sumatra.
Dynastie: Srivijaya-Königreich.
Datierung: 7.-8. Jahrhundert
Technik: Sensibel modellierte Bronze mit dunkler Patina, die vermutlich auf eine jahrhundertelange Lagerung in feuchter Umgebung (wohl einem Fluss) zurückzuführen ist.
Beschreibung: Der muskulöse, stehende Lokeshvara ist bekleidet mit einem langen dhoti-Hüfttuch, gehalten
von einem geknoteten Gürtelband. Seine im Jatamukuta-Stil hoch aufgetürmte Haartracht ist
vorne mit der Darstellung eines Buddha geschmückt, was die Identifizierung als Lokeshvara
zulässt. Lange Haarsträhnen reichen bis auf die Schultern und sind rückwärtig besonders
fein ausgearbeitet. Die vier Arme hielten einst wahrscheinlich separat gearbeitet
Attribute.
Maße: Höhe 26,2cm.
Zustand B. Äußere linke Hand abgebrochen. Füße fehlen.
Die Herrscher der Sailendra-Dynastie des Königreichs Srivijaya, gelegen in den Küstengebieten des südlichen Sumatra unweit der heutigen Stadt Palembang, unterhielt einen regen Handel mit Indien und China. Aus Indien kamen auch der Buddhismus und der Hinduismus ins Land. Die Figur zeigt deutliche Anlehnung an die Gupta-zeitlichen indischen Prototypen dieser Gottheit.
