Buddha statue from Pakistan in Swiss exhibition

Two thousand year old Buddha sculpture from Pakistan has been displayed at an exhibition in Rietberg Museum in Switzerland.

Smaller objects from that era have been sent out of Pakistan for exhibition but this is the first time that a statue of this size has gone out of the country.

The Buddha sculpture is a prime example of the fusion between Indian and Greek art. It represents a unique work not only due to its size, but also its quality, because it has survived the time almost without damage, a private news channel reported.
