佛像创始于古印度贵霜王朝,这是佛教艺术史上的大事件。从贵霜秣菟罗和犍陀罗的考古遗品来看,迟至迦腻色迦王即位前后,佛像就已经诞生了。犍陀罗地区出土的一批“BOΔΔO”铭贵霜钱币,是长期以来备受关注的具有贵霜王序的佛像基准之作,有学者指出,这是佛像的最早遗例。但是,将佛像铸于流通的钱币上,理应是佛像盛行之后的事。而且,贵霜佛陀钱币的数量极少。可以说,至少在迦王前后,犍陀罗地区还并不特别关心佛教。

Buddha statue was founded in ancient India Kushu dynasty, this is a major event in the history of Buddhist art. Judging from the archeological artifacts of Geumgangluo and Gandhara, the statue of Buddha has been born before and after the ascensee of Kashgar. A batch of “BOΔΔO” Minggui frost coins unearthed in Gandhara area is a long-standing reference to Buddha statues with the royal order of Kushisu. Some scholars have pointed out that this is the earliest example of Buddha statues. However, casting Buddhist statues on circulating coins should be something after the Buddha’s appearance. Moreover, there is a very small number of coins in Kofu Buddha. It can be said that, at least before and after the king of Gaya, Gandhara area is not particularly concerned about Buddhism.
