The Ghandaran Empire was located in what is now largely occupied by North-West India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The art and sculpture of the region that has come to be known as Ghandaran combines Hellenistic or Graeco-Roman artistic techniques and modelling with Indian Buddhist iconography to create a recognisably Indian hybrid. By the end of 1st Century these aesthetic traditions had developed into a recognisable Ghandaran style.

Provenance: Professor Z. P. Butt extensive collection of sculptures of the Gandhara empire. Professor Butt established the Zahid Butt Kashmir Museum in Islamabad over a period of thirty-five years.
