Buddha
Description
This is an image of Buddha seated in Padmasana on a lotus pedestal resting on a rectangular bhadrapitha. He is shown in a deep meditation which is effectively expressed by the artist through his long, partially opened meditative eyes inlaid with silver and a subtle smile on his oval face. He has a straight blunt nose and thin lips. The earlobes are elongated but do not touch the shoulders. His hair is arranged in conventionalized curls is surmounted by the urnisha. The neck has three folds. His both hands are missing. His sanghati is wrapped around his left shoulder in folds. Continuing the tradition of late Gandhara style at Mirpur Khas. The artist has exposed the folds of an undergarment beneath the sanghati. An illegible word is inscribed on the pedestal.
