Lot 389 | Feiner Gandhara-Buddha-Kopf, schwarzer Schiefer, ca. 3. - 5. Jahrhundert
Feiner Gandhara-Buddha-Kopf, schwarzer Schiefer, ca. 3. - 5. Jahrhundert
Kopf des Buddha Gautama in guter Erhaltung und von hoher künstlerischer Qualität. Klare Symmetrie des feinen, weich und jünglingshaft gebildeten Gesichtes. Typisch für Gandhara ist der kaum gesenkte, aber leicht verklärte Blick der relativ großen Augen, deren obere Lider stark hervortreten und an den Rändern scharf gezeichnet sind. Dadurch wird die Schattenbildung auf den Augäpfeln verstärkt, was wiederum die Plastizität des Kopfes erhöht. Das wellige Haupthaar ist in Zickzacklinien auf die Stirn geführt. Seitlich lang herabfallende Haarlocken. Der knospenartige Haarknoten (ushnisha) auf dem Haupt vorne beschädigt. Auf Vorderansicht gearbeitet (rückseitig nur grob geglättet). Minimale Bestoßungen, sonst intakt. Höhe 30 cm (mit Sockel 40 cm).

Provenienz: Aus Münchner Privatsammlung.

Zustand: II -
A fine Gandhara Buddha head, black schist, circa 3rd - 5th century
Head of Buddha Gautama in good condition and of high artistic quality. Clear symmetry of the fine, soft and boyishly formed face. Typical for Gandhara is the barely lowered but slightly transfigured gaze of the relatively large eyes, whose upper lids are strongly protruding and sharply drawn at the edges. This enhances the shading on the eyeballs, which in turn increases the plasticity of the head. The wavy main hair is led in zigzag lines onto the forehead. Long locks of hair falling to the sides. The bud-like topknot (ushnisha) on the head is damaged at the front. Worked on the front (only roughly smoothed on the back). Minimal abrasions, otherwise intact. Height 30 cm (with base 40 cm).


Provenance: From a private collection in Munich.
