Yes, but probably won't have a chance to make it to NYC until Sept. I've
seen some of the pieces when they were on loan to Japan awhile back during
the Silk Road craze all the Japanese museums were touting. But haven't seen
all the pieces together in one exhibit. Gandharan art is fascinating --
Buddhas' heads are covered with hair, not snails, they have hair buns
instead of freakish bony protrubances, and they usually sport wavy mustaches
as well.
