Aniconism in Buddhism

Purported concept of early Buddhists not to depict the Buddha's person

Since the beginning of the serious study of the history of Buddhist art in the 1890s, the earliest phase, lasting until the 1st century CE, has been described as aniconic; the Buddha was only represented through symbols such as an empty throne, Bodhi tree, a riderless horse with a parasol floating above an empty space, Buddha's footprints, and the dharma wheel.
