GREEK SCULPTURE ~ THE MOTHER OF BUDDHIST ART
It is now commonly agreed that the figure of Buddha was modelled after the prototype of Apollo.
So, especially the bump of intelligence on the top of Buddha’s head, has been changed into a top knot of his hair, which happened to be fashionable in those days in Athens and is quite obvious in the Apollo Belvedere.
A specially remarkable evidence of the Greek character of Buddhist art is a statue found among the Buddhist Gandhara sculptures
at Peshawar, now in the museum at Calcutta. That the
statue is Greek in origin and type is clearly evident by the name Yavanis, which the Hindus have popularly given to all statues of this type.
Yavani is the Indian pronunciation of the name Ionian by which all people of Hellenic origin are denoted.
