Elephant head (fragment) - Gandhara, Pakistan
Elephant's head in schist, typical of Gandhara composition and "Greco-Buddhist Art". The bronze horses from Constantinople come to mind, which are in some ways similar in their understanding of sculpted volumes.

According to specialists, Gandhâra and the Buddhist art associated with it correspond to the region surrounding the Peshâwar valley. During the reign of the Kushans, a dynasty of Iranian origin that dominated a vast empire stretching from Central Asia to the Ganges Valley, two great schools of sculpture appeared, almost contemporaneously: Mathura in the south, with its typically Indian aesthetic, and Gandhâra, more marked by Hellenism, due to the settlement in this region of descendants of Alexander the Great's companions.
