The Global Connections of Gandhāran Art - Proceedings of the Third International Workshop of the Gandhāra Connections Project, University of O

This volume addresses directly the question of cross-cultural influence on and by Gandhāran art. The contributors wrestle with old controversies, particularly the notion that Gandhāran art is a legacy of Hellenistic Greek rule in Central Asia and the growing consensus around the important role of the Roman Empire in shaping it.
