BUDDHA

Buddha. Culture: Sri Lanka, Kandy district. Dimensions: H. (figure) 23 3/8 in. (59.4 cm); H. (incl. base) 25 9/16 in. (65 cm) W. 8 11/16 in. (22 cm). Date: 18th century. This work represents Kandyan-period Buddha imagery at its finest. The figure's physique is robust, and the full face lacks the softness of features found in lesser works of the period. Auspicious marks (lakshana) appear here, and the lowered left arm is a convention that persisted throughout the later Kandyan period.
