Dark grey schist head from a statue of the Buddha, 2nd CE Gandhara, India. This sculpture, like most of the Buddhist art from Gandhara, can be dated between the first to the fifth centuries. As a result of the various cultures that settled or moved along the trade routes in the region, the sculptures have taken on a distinctive style, combining Graeco-Roman, Indian, Chinese and Central Asian influences.
