Sahri Bahlol: Standing Buddha
PAKISTAN, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar
Arounded usnisa, an urna, elongated earlobes, and webbing between the fingers are among the several characteristics of this Buddha. The figure’s right hand is lifted sideways in a version of the abhaya (fearlessness) mudra, while the left hand holds the fold of the robe. The robe’s material allows the shape of the body to show through, making visible how the weight is on the left leg as the right leg bends slightly at the knee. Stylized flame patterns surround the combined nimbus and aureole. The stem of a broken parasol is still visible at the very top.
