Description
Central Asia, Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan, Gandharan Empire, ca. 1st century CE. A beautiful seated depiction of Buddha, hand-carved from grey schist in high relief.

His slender body dons flowing robes, and his hair is presented in a traditional top knot. Beneath his seat is are two seated figures holding their hands in front of their bodies before a tiered stupa. A fabulous depiction! Size: 2" W x 3.625" H (5.1 cm x 9.2 cm).
