Buddha
2. bis 4. Jahrhundert | Egon Libsch
The idealized depiction of Buddha as a spiritualized religious creator removed from the world is typical of the prevailing interpretation of the Buddha figure in later Gandhara art. Only the long earlobes refer to Buddha's early life as the son of a king, when he still wore heavy ear jewelry.
