Dalam arkeologi masa Hindu Buddha di Indonesia, dikenal gaya seni arsitektur bangunan candi dan seni arca masa Klasik Tua dan Klasik Muda. Dapat dijabarkan secara lebih rinci bahwa seni Klasik Tua berkembang pada masa Mātaram Kuna dengan pusat pemerintahan di Jawa bagian Tengah, sedangkan Seni Klasik Muda berkembang pada masa Kāḍiri/Siŋhasāri dan Majapahit dengan pusat pemerintahan di Jawa Timur. Seni Klasik Muda terbagi menjadi dua, yaitu Kāḍiri/Siŋhasāri dan Majapahit. Kāḍiri sebagai suatu dinasti awal di Jawa Timur belum diketahui secara jelas apa saja ciri-ciri khusus, seni bangun candi maupun seni arca, dan hanya dikatakan bahwa gaya seni masa Kāḍiri adalah benang merah yang menghubungkan antara gaya seni Klasik Tua dengan gaya seni Klasik Muda. Tulisan ini bertujuan mengetahui ciri-ciri khusus arca-arca masa Kāḍiri (gaya seni peralihan). Untuk itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian terhadap arca-arca yang berasal dari Candi Gurah dan Candi Tondowongso. Kedua candi tersebut sudah diketahui pertanggalannya, baik secara relatif maupun absolut, yaitu dari masa Kāḍiri. Melalui penelitian ikonografi secara mendetil terhadap bagian-bagian arca didapatkan beberapa ciri yang selalu muncul, dan ciri tersebut dianggap sebagai ciri kuat arca-arca masa Kāḍiri.
