Serindian ArtSerindian art is the art that developed from the 2nd through the 11th century A.D. in Serindia or Xinjiang, the western region of China that forms part of Central Asia. It derives from the art of the Gandhara district of what is now Pakistan. Gandharan sculpture combined Indian traditions with Greek and Roman influences. Buddhist missionaries travelling on the Silk Road introduced this art, along with Buddhism itself, into Serindia, where it mixed with Chinese and Persian influences.
