Summary

Description
English: Greek Warrior. Bharhut, c. 100 BC. Indian Museum, Calcutta

The Greeks were evidently known at this date to people in the middle of India; here, a Greek warrior has been coopted into the role of dvarapala. The evidence includes his hairstyle, tunic, and boots. In his right hand he holds a grape plant, emblematic of his origin. The sheath of his broadsword is decorated with a nandipada.
