Standing Buddha Statue

Disciplined by a strict geometric rationalization, in the fifth century this system evolved into one of humanity's greatest art styles—the classic Gupta style. 5th century, Gupta period India (Uttar Pradesh, Mathura). Foucher especially considered Hellenistic free-standing Buddhas as "the most beautiful, and probably the most ancient of the Buddhas", assigning them to the 1st century BCE, and making them the starting point of the anthropomorphic representations of the Buddha. These were absent from earlier strata of Buddhist art, which preferred to represent the Buddha with symbols such as the stupa, the Bodhi tree, the empty seat, the wheel, or the footprints. But the innovative anthropomorphic Buddha image immediately reached a very high level of sculptural sophistication, naturally inspired by the sculptural styles of Hellenistic Greece. This beautuful fine art museum replica is perfect for any interior decor. This fine art statue is made of resin with hand-painted color details and measures 4.5 in. x 4.5 in. x 3 in.
