Born of Greco-Asian civilizations, Buddhist art in the Gandhara region
(part of present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan) epitomizes an early
flowering of global classicism. Today, much of this legacy is in
jeopardy. The withdrawal of international forces from Afghanistan has
left many early Gandharan sites unattended and vulnerable to looting,
vandalism, and illegal excavation, all fueled by black-market trade.
