One of the hallmarks of Gandharan art is its relation to naturalism of Hellenistic art. The naturalistic options present in Gandharan sculptures embrace the three-dimensional treatment of the material, with unregularized folds which may be in sensible patterns of random form and thickness. The bodily form of the Buddha and his bodhisattvas are well-defined, stable, and muscular, with swelling chests, arms, and abdomens. Buddhism and Buddhism art spread check to Central Asia and the far East across Bactria and Sogdia, the place the Kushan Empire met the Han Dynasty of China. After a niche of a few thousand years, a lot of the early finds correspond to what’s called the “second interval of urbanization” in the course of the first millennium BCE.
