Who and what was involved in making a sculpture of the Buddha in ancient India? Why were such images made and who was the intended audience? In this lecture, Dr. Lisa N. Owen discusses the artistry of the Kimbell’s Seated Buddha with Two Attendants and what this sculpture reveals about the complexities of ancient donative and devotional activities.
