Jean-Pierre Rousset, Paris (1936-2021), acquired at the above sale

Encompassing Northeastern Afghanistan and Northwestern Pakistan, the ancient region of Gandhara benefited from the unique hybridity of early cultures. Displaying in its sculpture elements informed by the Mediterranean, Near East India, and Central Asia, its artistic products are wonderfully cosmopolitan.

The elaborate turban worn by this handsome Bodhisattva has no direct comparison to Indian or Sasanian models but retains elements of large faceted beads, thick fabric bands, represented in other examples published in Tissot, Gandhara, Paris, 1985, figs.171-183 and an example in the British Museum (1937,0716.159) also missing the top section. Also compare to a bodhisattva head in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1977.191) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art published by P.Pal, Indian Sculpture, vol.I, Los Angeles, 1986, pp.168-169, no.S46.
