| Carved stone figures from the Gandhara period are set into the ancient walls of the Mohra Muradu ruins in Taxila, Pakistan. The sculptures exhibit classical drapery, characteristic of Greco-Buddhist art, and are partially intact, lacking heads and hands. The wall's texture is rough, composed of large stone blocks with visible mortar. These artifacts reflect the significant cultural exchange and artistry of the region, highlighting Taxila's historical importance as a center of Buddhist learning and art from the early centuries CE. |
