            Standing Buddha

Taken at the Matthews Family Court of Chinese Sculpture of the Royal Ontario Museum.

According to the placard:
Linyou, Shanxi Province.
Gilt Bronze. 16th - 17th century, Ming Dynasty.

The poise, benign expression and gracefully draped robe ith delicate floral trim attest to the high quality of this Buddha sculpture. The double protrusion of the skull, one over the forehead and one at the top, is typical of later Buddhist sculpture made from about 1300. A swastika is engraved on the Buddha's chest, and the eight-spoked wheel of the law on his palms. In Buddhism, the swastika represents the curls on the Buddha's chest, and is a symbol of good fortune.
