‘It's incredibly unusual to find a stone sculpture of this size from this period’, says our specialist Leiko Coyle.

Made from a single piece of black stone, this remarkable figure is dated to the late Pala period, named after the sprawling Pala Empire that once covered the region that is now West Bengal in India and Bangladesh. The era saw the production of some of the finest sculpture ever made on the subcontinent.

A large and important black stone figure of Lokanatha (Avalokiteshvara), northeastern India, Pala period, 12th century. Estimate upon request.
