Description

A carved grey limestone full length sculpture of a standing Buddha. Sui dynasty 581-618. The head with typical long earlobes, a small mouth with serene expression. The long loosely draped robes falling into pleats showing definition of the legs underneath. The right hand of the statue is depicted raised at chest height, with palm facing forwards, abhaya mudra, is a symbol of fearlessness and protection from fear. The left arm hanging down and loosely angled at the elbow with the fingers bent and pointing upwards, varada mudra, symbolise giving and compassion. This beautiful, small carved stone Buddha has damage as can clearly be seen, but is finely carved and more importantly has survived.

Date of Manufacture

Christine Kavanagh Antiques has dated this Carved Stone Buddha to the Before 1700 period.

FAQs

Stone Buddha sculptures in China evolved significantly across various dynasties, reflecting the spread and integration of Buddhism into local culture and craftsmanship, with distinct stylistic developments in posture, drapery, and facial expression.

These figures were typically hand-carved from locally sourced materials such as limestone, sandstone, or marble, utilizing traditional chisels and abrasive polishing methods to shape intricate drapery and anatomical details.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit natural weathering patterns, mineral encrustations, tool marks consistent with historical hand-working methods, and a stable patina developed over centuries of exposure.

Placing a sculptural stone artifact on a simple console table or within a minimalist niche allows its historical texture and form to serve as a strong focal point against neutral walls.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and gently dusting the surface with a soft, dry brush to prevent abrasion to the aged patina.
