Name and describe the sculpture above. what school of thought is this sculpture a part of? answer : this sculpture is entitled, buddha and attendents. it was made of sandstone flecked with cream-colored spots. buddha’s right hand is raised in a gesture meaning ”have no fear”. this sculpture is from the mathura school of thought.

The Mathura Buddhas represent one of the finest developments in Indian art. It is not just a diachronic sculpture but a medieval Indian sculptural descriptor where Buddha is depicted as just not a historical figure but a figure worthy of bowing down. The Mathura Buddhas were quite different from the Gandhara ones. In fact it can be said that Lord Buddha was for the first time represented in human form in the Mathura and Gandhara Schools of Art.

Hope This Helps ;)
