Top of an archway from the upper level of a stupa at Loriyan Tangai, in the Peshawar district, excavated by Alexander Caddy in 1896. The sculptures found were removed and taken to the Indian Museum. The Peshawar district of northern Pakistan was known as Gandhara and ruled by a group of Chinese origin known as the Kushans. The reign of the Kushan king Kanishka, usually dated to the second century CE, is particularly associated with the Graeco-Roman influenced Gandharan sculpture such as this. Apalala was a Naga (cobra or snake) or "dragon" king who was converted by Buddha. (Source: Google Arts & Culture [website]; https://www.google.c om/culturalinstitute /)
