History:

This rare antique head of Buddha, of unknown date, is a remarkable piece that exudes serenity and tranquility. The long face, carved with a serene expression, features crisply carved details, including the mouth, nose, well-defined brows, and gracefully arched eyes. The hair is intricately styled in tight spiraled curls, covering the prominent ushnisha. The fine-grained greenish stone, with traces of pigment, adds to the ancient aura of calmness.

Ushnisha: The ushnisha, or the crown of hair, is a distinctive feature in Buddhist art and iconography. It is a three-dimensional oval at the top of the Buddha’s head. The ushnisha is symbolic, representing a crown, and is not to be confused with the topknot that Prince Siddhartha cut off upon leaving the city of Lumbini. Cutting off the topknot symbolized his renunciation of royal heritage.

This antique carved stone head of Buddha carries profound historical and artistic significance. Its unknown date adds an air of mystery, inviting contemplation of the rich cultural and spiritual traditions that it represents. The piece, housed in a Brentwood, CA Estate, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal and spiritual depth captured in Buddhist art.
