With the growing popularity of Mahayana Buddhism around the second century large detached images were sculpted alongside narrative friezes. This fine standing Buddha is characteristic for the high point of Gandharan art as represented in the refinement of the carving and excellent state. The elegant treatment of the drapery subtly reveals the underlying physique of his body.
