amaravati sculpture

İngilizce - İngilizce

amaravati sculpture teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı

Style of sculpture found in the Andhra region of southeastern India. It flourished there from about the 2nd century BC to the end of the 3rd century AD, during the rule of the Stavhana dynasty. Carved in relief on greenish-white limestone, these sculptures depict events in the life of the Buddha. The compositions are dynamic, sensuous, and dramatic, with overlapping figures and diagonals suggesting depth. The style spread from the Amarvat ruins west to Mahrshtra Pradesh, to Sri Lanka (Ceylon), and to much of South Asia. The Amarvat stupa was one of the largest in Buddhist India; it was largely destroyed in the 19th century by building contractors to make lime mortar
