Marble Ming Buddha Head
Antique Chinese Marble Buddha Statue

Shakyamuni

Head of Buddha

Circa: Ming Dynasty. 14th-17th century
H. 9.5 in.(24cm), W. 6 in.(15cm), D. 6.5 in.(16.5cm)
Condition: minor chips, erosion, o.a. good!
This Ming Dynasty marble statue is a highly evocative depiction of Shakyamuni Buddha at the moment of enlightenment. The calm presence of the Buddha brings life to the stone. The sumptuous earlobes and the full round face are hallmarks of Chinese depictions of the Buddha. This would have topped a substantial statue that would have been part of a temple complex. The fine artistry and finely detailed snail hair curls give indication of its providence. With minor chips and erosions that show the wear of time) this is an excellent find from the period. (SD)
