"This beautifully carved sandstone head captures the Buddha in a moment of peaceful meditation, with his eyes gently lowered and a soft, serene smile on his lips. The signature curled hair, long earlobes, and tranquil expression are classic features of Buddhist art that became common between the 4th and 6th centuries CE, especially during the Gupta period. Interestingly, earlier Buddhist art didn’t depict the Buddha in human form. From the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE, artists from places like Sanchi and Bharhut often used symbols—like an empty throne—to represent him instead."
