Sikri: Footprint of the Buddha
PAKISTAN, Balochistan, Sikri; Kushan period
This carving is the largest Gandharan footprint found so far. The upper joints of the toes are marked with the auspicious swastika, with the symbol on the fourth toe reversed. A large Dharma wheel is located on the sole, while beneath it is the triratna, the symbol of the triple gem, which is balanced on a lotus at the heel.
