Details: A rare and very naturalistic example of a Pagan seated Buddha from around the 11th to 12th century. Buddha is seated in Maravijaya on an attractive double lotus throne, his hands in Bhumisparsha and Dyhana mudra respectively calling the earth to witness his many previous good and compassionate deeds. This Buddha sits very well, his body and face are subtly fleshy showing real natural detail and form, which is hard to achieve on a small image such as this. The face is flanked by long heavy pierced and realistically elongated earlobes, and finished with Buddha’s hair tightly curled around his domed Usnisha surmounted by his radiant Ketumala. In terms of Burmese Buddhist art history, the Pagan period was Burma’s golden age. Heavily influenced artistically and spiritually by Northern Indian Buddhist ideas from the great Pala centre of learning Nalanda, the imagery shares a realism and beauty that the skillful Mon casters of Pagan emulated with inspiration. Age: 11th to 12th Century. Height: 10 cm.
