Seated
marble torso of the Buddha |
A monumental polished marble torso of the Buddha carved fully in the round in a style reminiscent of sculpture from the Hellenistic world. Seated on a throne with a draped cover the Buddha conveys a sense of majestic power and sublime beauty. The pleated robe is elegantly draped over the left shoulder leaving the right breast exposed. A simple belt tied with a stylised knot circles the waist. |
