Fasting Buddha Shakyamuni
Pakistan (ancient region of Gandhara), 3rd–5th century
After reaching enlightenment at Bodhgaya, Shakyamuni meditated and fasted for forty-nine days. Thus, showing him as an emaciated renouncer relates to his enlightenment and his status as a yogic ascetic who has ultimate control over his body. Other characteristics that relate to his enlightenment include the kusha grass on which he sits and the scene on the base, which shows the Buddha's first sermon, at Sarnath.

🥺 Got a really sweet ask just now, so I went and dug up some oldies. Pic on the right is some really nicely foliated schist! Pic on the left is actually of concrete in thin section. The concrete paste shows as a dark matrix in cross-polar (usually), while the rocks mixed in as filler show normally! Shist is the center-focus of that picture, but quartz grains are scattered around the edge as well.
