Object description

Fragment of bronze relief representing Bodhisatva. Montell 1938, p. 107.

The majority of the bronze figures are presented in a frontal position. One of the finest fragments, Pl. II, 2, is a remarkable exception. Of the whole relief there remains but the head of a richly ornamented Bodhisatva (?) with a halo. The details of the hair ornament are difficult to determine but the impression as a whole very greatly resemles the Gandhara art. It is possible that this is an object imported directly from India. Montell 1938, p. 85.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
