Standing Buddha
Bronze
Standing Buddha
INDONESIA
This statue was cast early during the Central Javanese period (circa 7th–13th century). The hollow ring of the nimbus was created separately and added later. Although the style of the monastic robe shows Indian Gupta influence, the shape of the head and hairline and the small flame ornament over the usnisa are Javanese traits.
The Buddha stands on a reversed lotus pedestal with both arms bent at the elbows and hands held out separately in vitarka (teaching) mudra. The thin monastic robe clings to the body, leaving right shoulder bare. However, the hem on the left side falls away from the body after folding over the left wrist.
