superbly cast in the Udayana style, depicted standing
with the right and left hands held in abhayamudra and
varadamudra respectively, the deity portrayed with a serene
and meditative countenance below an urna, framed by a
pair of long pendulous earlobes and hair neatly swept over
the mound of the ushnisha, further rendered clad in a long
robe with elongated sleeve openings and accentuated overall
with pronounced folds and undulations, the garment loosely
clinging to the gently rounded outlines of his stomach and
legs and ending in a flaring hem above the bare feet, Japanese
wood stand
116.8 cm, 46 in.
The outcome of the Carbon-14 testing of the core is consistent
with the dating of this lot.
