Description: Standing Bodhisattva (Fr. Bodhisattva Debout). Pakistan, Gandharan art, site of Shahbaz-Garhi. The identity of the bodhisattva is not known, so the work is is simply titled "Standing Bodhisattva." The representation is of a standard bodhisattva of the Gandharan style, displaying the fearlessness mudra. No clear indicator identifies the figure as one bodhisattva or another. The Musée Guimet suggests that it may be Gautama or Avalokiteshvara.
