 We are delighted to announce details of our forthcoming exhibition, to be held at our London gallery from the 4th - 26th November 2004 as part of this year’s Asian Art in London events. It will include a varied and eclectic selection of Buddhist and Hindu works of art from India, China and Southeast Asia.The highlights of this year’s offerings are a superb black schist Gandhara Buddha of unusual size and a white limestone Buddhist relief from China’s Northern Wei dynasty, inscribed with the names of the thirty-seven donors who paid for it to be made. Also included are three remarkable reliquary stupas of different sizes, also from Gandhara, containing gold boxes, coins and other relics. The exhibition will include a number of major, museum quality Buddhist sculptures, including a superb 6th century Buddha head from China, a large Khmer sculpture of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and a wonderful sandstone relief of a female deity from 12th century Vietnam. Our fondness for the unusual has not abated - this year we have a pair of comical terracotta figures from the pantheon of Balinese Wayang theatre and a charismatic Buddhapada (‘Buddha’s Feet’) relief from around the first century B.C. from Andhra Pradesh, Southern India.We both look forward to welcoming you to our gallery once again for this year’s exhibition and would be delighted to answer any questions you may have, either before or during the event.
