Standing Buddha
Marble
Standing Buddha
CHINA; Northern Qi dynasty
This work, believed to be discovered in Dingzhou, Hebei, is a large sculpture dating from late Northern Qi (550–577) and early Sui (581–618) dynasties. It is representative of white stone statues of that time. It was later moved to Japan. A long neck and elegantly sloping shoulders distinguish the Buddha. The diagonal folds of the monastic robes are carved in low relief and give way to a vertical rippling effect below the waist. The figure stands on an elaborately carved lotus pedestal. The arms are broken and the original mandorla is missing.
