Head of a Buddha, India (Uttar Pradesh, Mathura), late Gupta period, late 5th–early 6th century
Head of a Buddha, India (Uttar Pradesh, Mathura), late Gupta period, late 5th–early 6th century. Red sandstone. H. 25.4 cm, W. 14.3 cm, D. 16.5 cm. On base: H. 37.5 cm. Gift of Doris Rubin, in memory of Harry Rubin, 1989, 1989.236.1. © 2000–2023 The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This head from a nearly lifesize figure of the Buddha reflects the late Gupta artistic idiom. In an effort to represent the Buddha’s enlightenment and his inward-looking meditative nature, the artist abstracted and idealized his physical features, especially evident in the articulation of the eyes and the intersecting convex planes of his cheeks and forehead.
