Bazipur: Standing Buddha
Sandstone
Bazipur: Standing Buddha
INDIA, Uttar Pradesh, Bazipur; Gupta period
This statue, unearthed at Bazipur, was created during the Gupta period (circa 320–550). It encompasses the styles of Mathura and Sarnath. The Mathura style is especially prominent and can be seen in the head, as well as the remains of the nimbus. Although the hands and lower legs are missing, the rest of the statue is well preserved.
The Buddha has tightly curled hair, a prominent usnisa, and a high forehead. He has distinctive eyebrows, large eyes, a broad nose, thick lips, and a wide mouth. The diaphanous robe covers both shoulders and is plain, except for some pleats along the V-shaped neckline and the sleeves beneath the left arm.
