Description
This remarkable terracotta mold and impression stamp measures 6x5 cm (2.36x1.97 inches) and originates from the ancient Gandhara region, dating between the 1st and 5th century AD. The piece features a serene representation of the deity surrounded by worshippers, a subject that is emblematic of the region's syncretic art, which combines Hellenistic and South Asian influences. This artifact would have been used to create votive plaques or decorative elements, echoing the devotional practices of the time. It offers an intimate connection to the spiritual life and artistic traditions of an era when the Buddhist culture was flourishing. The presence of this mold in a collection would provide a direct link to the rich history and religious artistry of ancient Gandhara.
