Significance of a Panel relief with S?a?kyamuni

"While more than a century and a half has passed since works from ancient Gandha?ra and related areas captured the attention of Western researchers and while many questions remain unanswered with controversies unresolved, a wealth of new research has been forthcoming. Some of the discoveries relate directly to the holdings of the Museum of Art and Archaeology, providing increased understanding of controversial issues and, more specifically, of both dating and interpretation. it is the purpose of this article to offer insight into the meaning and significance of a bas-relief panel in the museum's collection. This panel, of black mica schist, was given to the museum in 1967 by Mary and Leland Hazard, in memory of Governor and Mrs. James T. Blair. Created during the apogee of the Buddhist tradition of circa the second half of the second and third centuries C.E., this unique relief belongs to a corpus of relief and stele sculptures that are classed as visions or displays of heavenly realms. In these symmetrically ordered Gandha?ra sculptures, the images are presented hierarchically, focused on an image of a Buddha seated on a large lotus dais. He is attended on his immediate right and left sides by a pair of Bodhisattvas, who are frequently shown standing on lotus flowers."--Introduction.Includes bibliographical reference
