Summary

Description
English: Seated Buddha with halo and mandorla 5th-6th century CE Gandhara. "In Gandhara the appearance of a halo surrounding an entire figure occurs only in the latest phases of artistic production, in the fifth and sixth centuries. By this time in Afghanistan the halo/mandorla had become quite common and is the format that took hold at Central Asian Buddhist sites." [1]
