Description:
|
Image of Bodhisattva is seated on throne decorated with a crude Corinthian pilaster at each end and a row of six Bodhisattvas seated in meditation in between. His hair is decorated with a network of beads. The right hand is lifted up in the abhaya mudra (protection, dispelling of fear gesture). The Corinthian pilasters, mustache, and heavy toga-like drapery are part of the Hellenistic influences (from the 2nd-century Hellenistic art of Egypt and Syria) in sculpture from the Gandhara region, part of the ancient Silk Road trade routes, which extended through Afghanistan. This statue is from Loriyan Tangai in the Swat Valley. (Source: Google Arts & Culture [website]; https://www.google.c om/culturalinstitute /)
