Item Details
Description
This terracotta figure from Gandhara, representing a meditation posture, dates back to the 1st-4th century AD. The piece measures 10x5x1 cm or 3.94x1.97x0.39 inches, and serves as a testament to the region's rich Buddhist heritage. The idol's serene expression and stylized drapery are characteristic of the Gandharan art that syncretized Hellenistic and South Asian influences. As a spiritual relic, it not only holds religious significance but also reflects the cross-cultural exchange of the ancient Silk Road. This artifact would be a meaningful acquisition for those interested in the history of Buddhism, art collectors, or practitioners seeking a piece with historical resonance.
