EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pala style Stele with Crowned Buddha, originating from Northeast India during the 10th-11th century. Crafted from phyllite, this exquisite artifact stands at an impressive height of 60 cm and is currently housed in a private collection. The focal point of this stele is the seated Buddha, depicted in pralambapadasana on a majestic throne. Both feet gracefully rest upon a lotus flower while the Wheel of Life flanks him, accompanied by a pair of deer below. The Buddha's hands are positioned in dharmacakramudra, symbolizing his preaching of the Buddhist teachings. Adorned in a pleated cloak and wearing a modern headpiece, the crowned Buddha is flanked by Maitreya and Padmapani on either side. Above them stand two stupas while at the center of the arched backslab rests an elegant parasol. A lengthy inscription, including the Buddhist Creed written in fine nagari script, adds to its historical significance. This remarkable sculpture exemplifies not only exceptional craftsmanship but also deep spiritual symbolism within Buddhism. Its intricate carvings and attention to detail make it an invaluable piece within South Asian art history. Captured beautifully by eChristies Images and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate and study this significant religious artifact without any commercial use intentions.
