OVER LIFE-SIZED SCULPTURE OF BUDDHA Mathura, Kushana Period 1st-2nd Century AD

Pink sandstone, shown with the legs crossed tightly in the padmasana meditative position, he wears a simple robe which loosely reveals the contours of the body. The folds of the cloth are deeply incised to create an arresting visual effect. The inscription below reads as follows: “[year and month missing -] day 10; on this day, the Commander-in-Chief, [name illegible], established this image of Sakyamuni for the principle benefit of his mother and father; [and] for the sake of his own health and well being; [and] for the happiness and welfare of all beings, [given] into the possession of [the masters] of the Sarvastivadin [school].”.

H: 37, W: 40 in. (mounted).
