H. 28 cm - W. 25 cm - D. 15.5 cm Note : The Gandhara region, in present-day Pakistan, is one of the two regions, along with Amarâvatî on the east coast of India, that vie for pre-eminence as the cradle of anthropomorphic representations of the Buddha, who was exclusively depicted in symbols until the beginning of our era.
