Gandhara, 2nd to 3rd century,

The sculptors of Gandhara were among the first to give the historical Shakyamuni Buddha a human shape.
Trademarks of the Gandhara style can be seen here: wavy hair, open eyes, the Greek profile and a pronounced mouth. The oval shape of the head, the curvature of the eyebrows, reminiscant of an Indian bow, the lotus-leaf-like shape of the eyes, as well as the ears ā these are from Indian origin.
