Summary

Buddha statue, found in a late Han dynasty burial in Sichuan province. Circa 200 CE. Collection A.I.C. Personal drawing. Photographic reference: "Crossroads of Asia" p208

"That the imported images accompanying the newly arrived doctrine came from Gandhara is strongly suggested by such early Gandhara characteristics on this "money tree" Buddha as the high ushnisha, vertical arrangement of the hair, moustache, symmetrically looped robe and parallel incisions for the folds of the arms." "Crossroads of Asia" p209
