Odisha Figure, South Asia at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich
收藏资源简介：
Ratnagiri was once the site of a mahavihara, or major Buddhist monastery, in the Brahmani and Birupa river valley in Jajpur district of Odisha, India. It was part of the Puspagiri University, together with Lalitgiri and Udayagiri. This head of a buddha or deity was excavated in Odisha believed, despite its questionable values, to have just been a head. It was considered of ill taste and disrespectful to present just the head of a buddha without a body. This object is part of Scan The World.
