RF2RNJT6N–Kolkata, West Bengal, India - 29th August 2023: Ancient Gandhara style (Indo-Greco or Greco-Buddhist art) Lord Buddha statue at Kolkata Museum
RMDYEB3T–The bodhisattva Maitreya, Pakistan, Gandhara, 3rd century painted and gilded slate. Maitreya, the Buddha of the future, is making the abhaya mudra, or 'fear not' gesture. His webbed fingers are a sign of his divine nature. This figure shows that Buddhist art in Gandhara, which was in contact via trade routes with religions around the Mediterranean Sea, was influenced by Greco-Roman sculpture. The drapery folds of the Maitreya's lower garment, for instance, recall Roman figures, while his hairstyle is based on representations of the Greek god Apollo.

This development began during the Parthian Period (50 BCE - 75 CE). Gandhāran style flourished and achieved its peak during the Kushan period, from the 1st to the 5th century. It declined and suffered destruction after invasion of the White Huns in the 5th century.
