Description

AN EXCEPTIONAL LIMESTONE HEAD OF BUDDHA, NORTHERN QI DYNASTY China, 550-577. Finely carved with almost perfectly symmetrical features imparting the head with a serene vitality, the eyebrows rising in smooth curves issuing from the bridge of the nose, the deeply-set large eyes half-closed under heavy lids sweeping in bowstring curves, the crisp undulating lips forming a subtle smile, all flanked by large ears with deeply cut lobing, beneath stylized hair depicted as undulating and overlapping waves rising rhythmically up to the smoothly domed ushnisha and centered with two whorls.

EUR 65,300 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Dr. Robert Bigler mentions in the document above that the head was examined by “Dr. Brand” [sic] of the Linden-Museum Stuttgart, referring to Dr. Klaus-Joachim Brandt, who was the museum's curator for East Asian art at the time.
