Loriyan Tangai, Buddhist archaeological site in Gandhara, Pakistan
The Loriyan Tangai complex contains multiple stupas and religious structures where numerous Buddhist statues were discovered during excavations.
Alexander Caddy excavated the site in 1896, sending the discovered artifacts to the Indian Museum of Calcutta for preservation and research.
The Buddhist statues from the site display a combination of Hellenistic and local artistic elements, with figures wearing Indo-Scythian clothing of loose trousers and tunics.
A significant statue from the site bears an inscription dated to year 318, which researchers have determined corresponds to approximately 143 CE.
The pedestal of a Buddha statue marked with the year 384, equivalent to 209 CE, remains preserved in the British Museum collection.
