General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: WikiPedia: BuddhismThe Buner reliefs are a series of frieze reliefs from the area of Buner, near Swat, and from the area of the Peshawar valley, in modern Pakistan in South Asia.
Some of the reliefs depict people in Greek dress (the short tunic, or chiton, and the enveloping himation for women, and the short tunic, or exomis, for men) and poses, "often regaling each other with cups, and sometimes pouring from wineskins into cups or mixing bowls in the Greek manner" (Boardman). The characters are often represented alongside columns in the Corinthian style.
