Summary
[edit]DescriptionSeated Nikko Bosatsu (Suryaprabha) with one leg pendent. C-218 C-218-02.jpg |
English: "This extremely valuable Buddhist statute dates back to the Nara period in the 8th century. The almond-shaped eyes and fresh, plump features are characteristic of Buddhist statuary from this period. The textures of the sculpture are also noteworthy. Take the way the hair is tied up fluffily on the top of the head, for instance, or the way the garments over the statue's legs and plinth cascade down gracefully with naturalistic folds. This soft, realistic expression is typical of the wood-core dry lacquer technique used to make this statue. This technique involves carving out a rough shape in wood and then applying a paste-like mixture of lacquer and wood pulp to refine the shape. Smaller features like the fingers have been fleshed out by applying this lacquer and pulp mixture to a wire core. The general structure of the statue can be observed by examining the damaged left arm. This technique combines the typically sharp features of a wood carving with the gentle, rounded softness of dry lacquer. However, the technique was costly and it involved a lot of time and effort, so it was not used much in later periods. This statue was actually part of a triad composed of Yakushi Nyorai, or Bhaisajyaguru in Sanskrit, flanked by Nikko Bosatsu, or Suryaprabha, and Gakko Bosatsu, or Candraprabha. The slight left tilt of this Nikko Bosatsu statue is probably because it was designed to lean close to the central image of Yakushi Nyorai." |
