A gray schist figure of a bodhisattva
Gandhara, 2nd/3rd Century
Seated in dhyanasana on a throne with claw feet with his hands folded in his lap, the finely carved folds of his sanghati elegantly pooling at his ankles and spilling over the edge of the base, his torso adorned with beaded necklaces, the face serene with heavy-lidded eyes and raised urna surmounted by an elaborate headdress and backed by a nimbus, with a seated bodhisattva and attendant figures at the base
