Lot Essay

The Buddha’s facial features display still elements of North India Gupta artistic idiom, such as the aquiline nose and rounded curls covering both the head and cranial protuberance. The round facial line is an element that reflects Javanese physiognomy. The combination gives the head a softer and more introvert feeling than many of its Indian counterparts.

A technical report is available on request.
