CROWNED AND JEWELED BUDDHA
Bronze
India, ancient kingdom of Kashmir, 9th century or maybe later
Dimensions: height 14 cm, width 9 cm, depth 7 cm
Weight: 630 grams
Seated in a yoga posture, Buddha wears a high three-part crown and fully articulated robe.
His lowered hand bestowed blessings on the male donor, who kneels before him and offers an offering, probably a garland.
The crown with flying ribbons shows the strong influence of Sasanian royal images on later Kashmiri art.
