説明 | 25.8 7th century (Tang dynasty (618–907)) H: 18 1/2 × W: 10 7/16 × D: 11 5/8 in. (47 × 26.5 × 29.5 cm)In Buddhist cosmology that originated in India, a mountain stands in the center of our world. On the middle slopes of this mountain dwell four heavenly kings, who guard the four directions. This stone head is a Chinese interpretation of one of these kings, although we cannot be certain which. He has been given a beard and mustache like those of the Central Asian traders that appear in art from China’s Tang dynasty (618–907), which helps to date the piece. |
