This paper treats the observation of various types of military costumes represented
in the Buddhist Sculptures of Gandhara. Specimens of the military costumes vary
from simple coat made of thick cloth or skin to highly defensive scale armour,
helmets, globs, and heavy boots worn by door keepers, soldiers, and princely
figures. Although the Buddhist Art of Gandhara is always considered a religious
art, yet the depiction of such armed personnel poses iconographic problems since
the military costumes worn by most of the figures are not indigenous rather most
of these are borrowed from different regions such as Greece, Central Asia and
Persia. An attempt is made here to trace the routes of the military costumes
exhibited in Gandharan sculptures housed in different museums of Pakistan.
