Standing Buddha

PAKISTAN; circa 1st–2nd century; Schist; H: 170 cm; Peshawar Museum, Pakistan
The typical Gandharan stance of one knee bent, throwing the body 's weight on the right with the waist displaced to the left and the head to the right. The wavy hair is built into a flattened topknot, below which there is an urna, mid-forehead. The wide-open eyes are characteristic of Gandharan statues. A monastic robe covers both shoulders, with thick folds descending in waves over the body but allowing the shape beneath to show through. The Buddha is barefoot and has long, slender toes.
