Seated Buddha dated 338
This Buddha has unique status among Buddhas in China.
Michael Knight, Senior Curator of Chinese Art.
It has inscription on the back, that is equivalent to 338.
And that is the earliest date inscribe on any Buddha sculpture from China.
Not just on any museum but anywhere in the world.
And the fact that there is an earliest dated Buddha and such a large one for the period.
It is a masterpiece.
No questions.
While the sculpture itself is almost completely intact.
There are some elements missing.
If you can come peek around to the back, you will see sticking out at the back of the head.
There is a square protrusion where the round hole in the middle.
It suggests that something once was attached to the back of the Buddha.
Most likely an umbrella.
So as you look at this piece, you would have imagine what would have been a shaft going up with an umbrella on top of that shaft and then hanging from the outside edge of the umbrella.
It would have been a series of bangles.
Also on the front, you look at it closely.
There are three holes.
And those three holes most likely would have supported a pair of guardian lines on either side.
And then on the center, it lotus.
If the Buddha was completely covered in gold, except for the head which was probably painted dark blue or black.
It was Buddhist missionary monks from central Asia, who brought images of the Buddha to China.
