General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: WikiPedia: BuddhismBuddhist art originated on the Indian subcontinent following the historical life of Sidhartha Gautama, 6th to 5th century BCE, and thereafter evolved by contact with other cultures as it spread throughout Asia and the world.
Early Buddhist art followed one Indian aniconic tradition, which avoids direct representation of the human figure. Around the 1st century CE an iconic period emerged lasting to this day which represents the Buddha in human form.
