He is shown with typical long earlobes, dressed in simple clothing with his hair tied into an ushnisha top knot. His hand is posed into the Abhayamudra, a symbol representing peace, protection and dispelling of fear. Size: 470mm x 300mm; Weight: 16.7kg Provenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in the early 2000s in France; previously in 1970s European collection. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter. This piece is accompanied by a historical report from Alessandro Neri, an international Cultural Heritage expert based in Florence, Italy.
