Nirvana Buddha
The Buddha's restoration : a 40 years long history After its excavation (of Ajina-Teppe) and conservation in the field, the sculpture of 'Buddha in Nirvana' which was divided into 44 parts, was transferred to Dushanbe to the Academy of Science of Republic of Tajikistan's laboratory of Restoration and Ethnography (laboratory supervisor L.novikova). The restoration of the sculpture has been a long and and difficult process. In the middle of the 90's the National Ermitaj joined the restoration (V.Fominikh began the work). In 2000, after the completion of the State Museum of the Antiquities' construction appeared an opportunity to assemble and set up the sculpture of "Buddha in Nirvana". Under V.Fominikh's supervision, restorers and Museum staff began erect the sculpture. In the project of assembling the sculpture and completing the restoration, the institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of AS of RT (director R.Massov) cooperated with the French Archaeology Mission in Tajikistan (director R.Besenval, CNRS Guimet Museum) and the NGO ACTED (director F.Roussel). The restoration of the Buddha was completed for the opening of the State Museum of Antiquities of Republic of Tajikistan in September 2001 during the course of Tajik Republic's celebrations for the 10th anniversary of ondependence. |
