- Lot Description
Central Asia, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Gandharan Empire, ca. 1st century CE. A beautiful carved stone figure of a standing woman, her draped clothing carefully and realistically portrayed as it falls over her body and clings to her sensuous form. She has elaborate jewelry and incredibly long, dangling earrings. This sculpture was once part of a high relief frieze, probably gracing a temple or palace wall. The woman is standing in a naturalistic manner, as if plaiting her long, thick hair, and may represent a dancer involved in a court scene, or possibly an attendant to the Buddha, as religious worship was a common scene in Gandharan art. Size: 4" W x 11.15" H (10.2 cm x 28.3 cm); 12.05" H (30.6 cm) on included custom stand.
Gandhara, situated along the Silk Road, collected artistic influences from the East (India) and the West (the ancient Near East and Classical world). Gandharan artisans were supported by Gandharan elites, who made their fortunes on trade and the transit of goods. The draped clothing and naturalistic facial features of the figure depicted here demonstrate the classical Greek influence on their artwork.
