Gandhara sculpture from the Kushan era depicting a standing Buddha. Carved from gray schist, it showcases Hellenistic influences with detailed drapery and hair. The Buddha has a serene expression, an ushnisha (cranial protuberance), and elongated earlobes. A halo with intricate patterns surrounds the head, signifying divinity. The sculpture embodies the syncretism of Greek and Buddhist artistic traditions prevalent in the Gandhara region, which is now in modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan.Taxila, Pakistan, September 11 2025
