Kushan period, 2nd-3rd century. Finely carved in relief to depict Buddha seated in dhyanasana on a rectangular pedestal, dressed in loose robes, his hands folded on the lap, flanked by Brahma and Indra who implore him to preach. The robes finely draped over their bodies and falling in neatly incised pleads. The hairs wavy and their faces detailed with almond-shaped eyes.Provenance: The private collection of Mrs. Jeannoty, Belgium, acquired in the 1980s. The collection of Farah Massart, Belgium, acquired from the above.

(2)This relief captures a pivotal moment in the life of the Buddha. According to the Mahāvastu, after attaining enlightenment, the Buddha hesitated to teach, fearing that the world would reject his insights. Sensing his reluctance, Brahma, accompanied by Indra and other gods, implored him to preach and “set rolling the wheel of the dharma” (see John James Jones, The Mahāvastu, Vol. 3, London, 1956, pp. 302-309).This scene serves as a key episode within a broader narrative, foreshadowing the formation of the sangha and the dissemination of Buddhist teachings. In the historical context of Gandhara, it reflects Buddhism's expansion and its doctrinal shift away from Vedic traditions, emphasized through the gods' appeal to the Buddha.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related smaller schist relief depicting Buddha with Indra and Brahma, dated to the second half of the 1st century, 21.6 x 15.9 cm, formerly in the collection of James and Marilynn Alsdorf and now in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Newfields, accession number 63.269.
