Buddhapad: Standing Buddha
Bronze
Buddhapad: Standing Buddha
INDIA, Andhra Pradesh, Buddhapad
This bronze statue was found in Buddhapad, not far from Amaravati. The figure’s usnisa is low and the hair is tightly curled, with the hairline low on the forehead. Incised lines represent the eyebrows and urna. The eyes look straight ahead instead of downwards. The Buddha has broad shoulders in contrast to his slender figure. He wears a robe over the left shoulder. The robe is draped over the left arm and covers the lower body. Neat, shallow lines represent the folds of the clothing, which is otherwise smooth. Both hands are raised, the right forming the abhaya (fearlessness) mudra, while the fingers of the left hand are curled.
