Description:
|
|
From Loriyan Tangai (now a lost site), Pakistan. The damaged hand was originally in the abhaya-mudra gesture, the other hand is holding a water pot (kumbha). In the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, in the first centuries CE in northern India, Maitreya was the most popular figure to be represented along with Gautama Buddha (often called Śākyamuni "sage of the Shakya"). In Gandharan art, Maitreya is represented as a Central Asian or northern Indian nobleman, holding a kumbha in his left hand. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
