Buddha and Warriors
Bronze
Buddha and Warriors
CHINA; Five Dynasties
This set of statues consists of a Buddha and two warriors. The Buddha is seated on a high lotus throne supported by a hexagonal stand. He is framed by a mandorla that includes a nimbus and an aureole, all in a foliated openwork design. The Buddha wears a monastic robe that is opened at the front.
The two warriors stand on four-legged bases with their powerful bodies leaning slightly to one side. They wear topknots and their bodies are bare apart from a stole and a dhoti. The warriors have one arm raised and the other arm leaning on weapons, except one of the weapons is missing.
