RM2B01D1M–Afghanistan: The Buddhas of Bamiyan as represented by Iwan Lawrowitsch Jaworski (fl. 1870s-1880s), c. 1885. The Buddhas of Bamiyan were two 6th century monumental statues of standing Buddhas carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamiyan valley in the Hazarajat region of central Afghanistan. Built in 507 CE, the larger in 554 CE, the statues represented the classic blended style of Gandhara art. The bodies were hewn directly from the sandstone cliffs, but details were modeled in mud mixed with straw. They were intentionally dynamited and destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban, declared as 'idols'
