Dalverzin Tepe: Fragment of a Bodhisattva
UZBEKISTAN, Surkhandarya, Termez; circa 4th–5th century; Clay; H: 97 cm; Fine Arts Scientific Research Institute, Tashkent, Uzbekistan |
The statue of a standing Bodhisattva with one arm resting at the waist was created in the realistic style of Gandhara. A number of individually molded necklaces adorn the neck of the figure, and a wide stole is worn over the shoulder and winds about the arm. The remains of a belt can be seen below the torso.
The presence of the urna despite the missing stud is what marks the figure as a spiritual stature. The head once wore a turban that is largely missing. |
