Gandharan sculpture developed in the ancient region spanning present-day northern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan, roughly 1st–5th century CE, and is known for blending Greco-Roman stylistic conventions with Buddhist subject matter. Grey schist is a common medium, and the tradition produced some of the earliest anthropomorphic images of the Buddha.
