介绍（中）	这尊可追溯到公元2世纪的美丽的菩萨半身像，是古代甘达拉（今巴基斯坦西北部白沙瓦地区）一座主要修道院建筑装饰的一部分。这件作品的背面是未完成的——最初它会被附在壁龛或墙壁上——这一特征与绝大多数甘达兰人物雕塑一致；其中很少有是全面的这尊菩萨的头上装饰着细长的小胡子、吉祥的额印（urna）、阿波罗式的发型和带有珠宝和珍珠网装饰的顶结。在交叉处有宝石的珍珠网最终形成一颗宝石，将珍珠固定在顶结上。额头上独特的"S"卷发是Loriyan Tangai工作室的标志性主题，强烈的面部特征也是如此，鼻子、眉毛和眼睑的平面划分也很微妙。这一渲染表明了人们对晚期格拉科罗马传统的地中海造型惯例的认识。亚历山大艺术的直接原型在更远的西部阿富汗的贝格拉姆被发现，这可能是希腊化发型的来源其他特征，如突出的狮子形式的（现已损坏的）耳饰和颈部扭矩，是北印度的特征，在从马图拉延伸到甘达拉的Kushan帝国的共同领土上流传。修道院的长袍从左肩上穿过时，变成了深深的褶皱。
介绍（英）	This handsome bust of a Bodhisattva, datable to the 2nd century AD, was produced as part of the architectural decoration of a major monastery in ancient Gandhara (present-day Peshawar district in northwestern Pakistan). The back of the piece is unfinished—originally it would have been attached to a niche or wall—a feature consistent with the vast majority of Gandharan figural sculptures; very few of which are fully in-the-round. This bodhisattva’s superbly rendered head is adorned with a slender moustache, an auspicious forehead mark (urna) and an Apollo-like hairstyle and topknot with jewel and pearl net ornamentation. The net of pearls with gemstones at the intersections culminates in a gemstone which secures the pearls looping over the topknot. The distinctive 'S' curls on the forehead is a signature motif of the Loriyan Tangai workshop, as are the strong facial features, with the subtle demarcation of planes for the nose eyebrows, and eyelids. This rendering points to an awareness of Mediterranean modelling conventions of the late Graeco-Roman tradition. Direct prototypes of Alexandrian art have been discovered further west at Begram, in Afghanistan, a likely source of the Hellenistic styling of the hair. Other features, such as the (now damaged) ear ornaments in the form of projecting lions, and the neck torque, are north Indian attributes that circulated in the shared territories of the Kushan empire that extended from Mathura to Gandhara. The monastic robe bulks into deep folds as it passes over the left shoulder.
