This sensitively modeled head of Buddha Shakyamuni demonstrates the serene, naturalist qualities of Buddhist art from the Gandharan period. Buddha's rounded face is finely modeled with a still expression. His bow-shaped mouth and heavy-lidded, almond-shaped eyes beneath arched eyebrows suggest a deeply meditative state. Rows of wavy tendrils rise over the ushnisha, a sign of his supreme enlightenment. Compare with another small grey schist head of Buddha, sold at Christie's New York, 28 September 2022, lot 122, for $5,000.
