Ca. AD 200 - 300. A schist relief panel with the seated Buddha attended by Brahma and Indra, as well as two Bodhisattvas. It is an exquisite ensemble of sculptures that emanates an aura of spiritual significance and artistic brilliance. The central figure of the triad portrays the Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha who attained enlightenment. Sitting in the meditative lotus position, Shakyamuni Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility. The facial features are expertly sculpted, with almond-shaped eyes that convey a profound sense of compassion and wisdom. The finely chiseled nose, gently curved lips, and hair pulled up into a topknot further add to the figure's harmonious countenance. Flanking the central Buddha is Brahma and Indra and two attendant Bodhisattvas, emanating an aura of reverence and devotion. All of these figures are embodying the compassionate ideal of Buddhism, and stand in a poised posture. Adorned in ornate robes that drape gracefully over their bodies, the Buddha figures in the triad are resplendent with richly detailed patterns and textures. The folds and drapery of the garments are skillfully rendered, capturing the subtle movements and fluidity of the fabric. This Triad panel exemplifies the spiritual devotion and artistic mastery of its creator. The harmonious composition and the delicate balance of forms evoke a sense of awe and reverence, inviting contemplation and deepening one's connection to the Buddhist teachings. This triad stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism and the remarkable artistic legacy it has left behind.

DAVID GAULD RSA (SCOTTISH 1865 - 1936), TWO CALVES oil on canvas, signedframed and under glassimage size 39cm x 60cm, overall size 48cm x 68cm Note: David Gauld (7 November 1865 - 18 June 1936) was an important Scottish artist who worked in both oils and stained glass and was regarded as being one of the innovators within the Glasgow Boys group. Some of his works, such as St Agnes and Music are seen as precursors of the Art Nouveau movement. His works were seen as having both a Japanese and Pre-Raphaelite influence. Gauld was born in Glasgow and served an apprenticeship as a lithographer and then attended Glasgow School of Art from 1882 to 1885. He came to public notice in the 1880s when he supplied a series of Japanese-influenced pen and ink drawings for the Glasgow Weekly Citizen. Gauld shared the Castlemains Studio in Kirkcudbright with William Stewart MacGeorge and then in later life shared a studio with Harrington Mann at 31 St Vincent Street in Glasgow from 1891 to 1894. During this time he designed stained glass windows for Guthrie and Wells. Gauld then took new premises at 138 West George Street in Glasgow. He also lived at various locations in Kirkcudbright, Glasgow and North Berwick. In 1889 he returned to the Glasgow School of Art and also studied in Paris for a period that year. Like other artists from Glasgow, Gauld spent time at the artist's colony at Grez-sur-Loing in France. Forty-three examples of David Gauld's work are held in the collections of various UK public galleries including Glasgow Museums, The Hunterian, The Scottish National Gallery, Kelvingrove, Gracefield, Paisley, Kirkcaldy and The Fleming Collection (London).
