Catalogue Note
The rolled cap and full, turned-up moustache belong to the lay figures of Gandhāran relief — donors, grooms, merchants — who stand at the edges of the Buddha’s story. The face is broad and direct, with a slightly amused expression.
There is a pale blue-grey tone across the cap and hair.
