Here the Buddha is depicted being born from Queen Maya's side, and also standing upright with his hand raised in the gesture of protection (abhaya).This style of sculpture, influenced by Graeco-Roman elements, is known as Gandharan and takes its name from the ancient kingdom of Gandhara (Peshawar) which, together with Udyana (Swat), corresponded fairly closely to the northern part of the North West Frontier Province.
