The search for other articles on the Santubong Buddha has been fruitless. Griswold in the Sarawak Museum Journal July-December 1962 ![]() One must be very careful of Tom Harrisons pronouncements.įrom: The Santubong Buddha and Its Context by A.B. In a note at the end of the article, Tom Harisson states the Santubong Buddha is older than the author states and was made locally. The British Museum has dated the piece to the 8th-9th century. The age of the piece cannot be older than the 6th century when the Late Gupta (Sarnath School) period came into being. The Buddha is considered to have been carved by a craftsman and is a competent piece of work.The author is unsure on where the image was created, in India or Southeast Asia. The Kedah bronze is comparable in style and is also of the Late Gupta (Sarnath School) stage. One can see the upper waistcloth which is worn under the robe and the contour of the limbs. This signifies the “divine radience shines through”. The robe falls freely from the body and a few folds can be seen. Still, the author has decided that the missing features as the right hand held downwards “bestowing favors”and the left hand grasping the corner of the robe at shoulder level. The hands, head and feet have been broken off. The carving is of the round type while the backing has been smoothed and not left blank. The lower part of the body (hanchement) is pronounced.
