Summary[edit]
| Description |
The text on the card next to the display quoted exactly: """ Buddha Gandhara North-west India (now Pakistan) Asia Made in the 2nd-4th Century from Schist (flint) <a href="http://www.brighton-hove-rpml.org.uk/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Brighton Museum</a> The first images of the Buddha in human form were produced in Gandhara. When Alexander the Great invaded north-west India nearly two and a half thousand years ago, local sculptors incorporated Classical Greek styles into their stone carving. The naturalistic features and style of dress on this figure show this continuing influence four centuries later. This Buddha was probably part of a stupa, a sacred Buddhist monument. Pilgrims to the stupa would have used the Buddha as a focus for their meditation. """ |
