“The Buddha Image: Out of Uddiyana”

Trace the evolution of the Buddha's image as depicted by artists in Uddiyana, the region known today as the Swat Valley in northern Pakistan. Items on display hail from two periods—the second to the sixth centuries and the 17th to the 20th centuries—and include bronze figurines, ancient coins and a series of racy tantric metal sculptures that have never been publicly exhibited before.
