Large statues of Kushana rulers, including notable examples of Kanishka and others, were discovered at Mathura. Mathura was a major city and one of the two capitals (the other being Purushapura, modern Peshawar) of the Kushana Empire (c. 30-375 CE). The sculptures found in Mathura represent a distinct school of art (Mathura School of Art) which flourished under the Kushanas and included portrait sculptures of their rulers.
