Pakistan - Gandhara region, 2nd - 3rd century AD, Winged Atlantean figure

Pakistan / Gandhara region
2nd - 3rd century
Winged Atlantean

Representation in schist of an atlantean with outstretched wings, the latter figured seated, wearing a simple loincloth. The character with head raised on the left and arms raised, presents a protruding musculature with a powerful chest and limbs swollen by the effort. This position tells us that we would probably be here in the presence of a bas-relief where the character would symbolically support a representation of the Buddha.
