The name derives from the famous legend of the first Buddha image of a sandalwood figure commissioned by King Udhyana in India during the Buddha's lifetime. A copy was brought to China by Kumārajīva 鳩摩羅什 in 405 CE. The feature of the rounded collar of the present lot is commonly presented in the Qing dynasty Udhyana Buddha. See a related gilt-bronze figure of Udhyana Buddha, 14th century, in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (acc. no. 59.5). Compare with a related Udhyana type gilt copper alloy figure of Buddha, 18th century, which was sold at Bonhams New York, 17 September 2014, lot 57.
