(2) The loose waves of hair along with the almond-shaped eyes and narrow nose are inspired by images of the youthful Apollo from the Greco-Roman tradition. While the harmonious proportions are inspired by Classical styles, they have been applied to the most popular subject of cult images represented during this time in the region of Gandhara. The heart of Gandhara located in the Peshawar region in modern-day Pakistan, the place where this Buddha head was fashioned, served as the crossroads between the East and West, blending the local Indic Buddhist practices with the Hellenistic styles that traveled along these trade routes. Literature comparison: Compare a related bust of Buddha, 4 th century AD, in the collection of the Albert Hall Museum, Jaipur, India. Auction comparison: Compare a closely related Gandhara gray schist stone bust of Buddha Sakyamuni, 3 rd century, 52 cm, at Christie’s Amsterdam, 12 October 2004, lot 27 ( sold for EUR 19,120).
