Meditating Buddha, from Gandhara ,
second century CE, gray schist
The kingdom of Gandhara, located in the
region of presentday northern Pakistan and Afghanistan, was part of the Kushan
Empire. It was located near overland
trade routes and links to the ports on the
Arabian Sea and consequently its art
incorporated Indian, Persian and Greco-
Roman styles.
The latter style, brought to Central Asia
by Alexander the Great (327/26²325/24
BCE) during his conquest of the region,
particularly influenced the art of
Gandhara. This stylistic influence is
evident in facial features, curly hair and classical style costumes seen in images of the Buddha and bodhisattvas that recall sculptures of Apollo, Athena and other
GaecoRoman gods.
A second-century CE statue carved in gray
schist, a local stone, shows the Buddha, with halo, ushnisha, urna, dressed in a PRQN·V URNH VHMPHG LQ M ŃURVV-legged yogic posture similar to that of the male figure with horned headdress on the Indus seal.

The Buddha sits on a low base. On the
front of this, a figural group consists of a
Buddha and bodhisattva, with four
worshippers flanking them. A lion supports the base at either end.

Buddha appears in human
form also comes from

death at Kushinagara. Buddha. Bamiyan, Afghanistan, Gandharan, c. 400-800 CE In Afghanistan, supreme Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar issued an edict against un-Islamic graven images, which means all idolatrous images of humans and animals. As a result, the Taliban are destroying all ancient sculptures. Explosives, tanks, and anti-aircraft weapons blew apart two colossal images of the Buddha in Bamiyan Province, 230 kilometers (150 miles) from the capital of Kabul in 2001.
One of the largest Buddha figures
in the world, this 174 feet high sandstone Buddha stood until 2001 in the Bamiyan Valley,
Afghanistan. Begun in the 2nd
century CE and finished around the 5th century, it was originally painted polychrome and gold and decorated with jewelry.
In the case of Buddhism, the task
of conversion along the silk road fell not to merchants but to Indian,
Gandharan, and Sogdian
missionaries who transported
Buddhist texts and teachings along
the same lonely trade routes and established communities in many
Central Asian oasis towns, thus
creating centers of both scholarship and devotion.
