AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 200–300 AD.
Fine Gandharan schist stone panel depicting the Buddha flanked by two worshipping figures. The Buddha is dressed in a voluminous monastic robe with elegantly carved flowing folds. His head is framed by a carefully rendered topknot, while his refined facial features and elongated earlobes reflect the weight of previously worn earrings. A halo surrounds his head. The reverse surface is flat, indicating that the panel was originally attached to a decorative surface rather than intended as a free-standing piece.
The certificate of authenticity is shown in the final photograph.
