Mathura School of art
At Sanchi, Barhut or Gaya, Buddha was never depicted in a human
form but was represented only as a symbol of either two footprints or
wheel.
Artisans from Mathura initially continued the Mauryan sculptural forms
of the Yaksha and Yakshi, until a human image of Buddha appeared,which was independent of other schools of art, but later influenced bythe Gandhara School.
he representations of the Buddha in Mathura, in central northern !ndia,
are generally dated slightly later than those of Gandhara.
