A SET OF THREE GILT-BRONZE FIGURES OF SITTING SAKYAMUNI
11 TH /15TH CENTURY |
These three Sakyamuni Buddhas seem similar in expression and posture, yet are different in their clothing and decoration. The figures all feature a lou fa (Buddha curl) hair and a solemn expression. With saffron robes hung over their right shoulder, their clothing either features naturally draped or tightly-fit contours. Their right hands are pressed against the ground, while their left hands strike a meditative gesture. They sit cross legged on a lotus pedestal. The gilt-bronze decorations are representative of Tibetan styles, while the non-gilt bronze style is representative of India’s Pala Dynasty. The differences in style reveal the diversity in Buddha statues across various locations. |
