Dalverzin Tepe: Standing Bodhisattva
UZBEKISTAN, Surkhandarya, Termez
The statue is thought to date from the time of the Sassanid period (224–651), during which Termez remained a major Buddhist city. The sculpture was considerably damaged, broken into three sections, and much of the limbs are missing. The finely curled, individually molded ringlets on the head most likely reflect the local style. Necklaces and various other ornaments adorn the chest. The ornamentation was created separately then applied to the statue. The folds of the lower garment adapt themselves to the shape of the legs and contribute to a sense of movement.
