A Very Rare and Beautiful Gandhara Schist Figure of A Lion (Architectural Element), 2nd-3rd Century AD
W14.5 x H7.4 x D3.5 cm

Roman Gandhara statues represent a fascinating fusion of cultures. These artifacts, found in the Gandhara region of modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan, depict Greco-Roman features combined with Buddhist iconography. Crafted during the early centuries CE, they showcase the exchange of ideas along the Silk Road. These statues reflect the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures and religions in the region, serving as a testament to the profound cultural connections forged during antiquity and the enduring legacy of the Gandhara art style.

A similar example in the Collection of Musée Cernuschi, musée des Arts de l’Asie de la Ville de Paris:
