Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Seated on a lotus placed on a circular plain pedestal the Buddha in bhumisparsa mudra is having a smiling countenance. The most notable feature of the image is seen in his outfit which includes a helmet, earguards, and armour with cross-belt, wrist and arm bands. This figure most probably represents the Buddha as a Nat deity. The cult of the Nats was very popular with the people of Myanmar before the advent of Buddhism in that country. At a later stage the Buddha was admitted as the thirty seventh Nat in the list of Nat deities. Size: 40x16x13 cm. This photograph has been taken during the 'Indian Buddhist Art' exhibition that organised by the Indian Museum, Kolkata with 91 rare Buddhist artifacts comprising sculptures and manuscripts at its two different halls to celebrate 202nd anniversary of the museum. This exhibition was previously shown to China, Japan, Singapore and New Delhi also between September 2014 and December 2015. |
