It's interesting how Buddhism kept so much Hindu art.

Hindu art in the general sense is preserved all around the world. Did you know that the Indo-Europeans kept much of the same techniques and styles of bright coloring as you would expect from their Indian cousins? The Greeks later passed the skills on to Orthodox Christian iconography.

I accept that statement as being pretty, but not completely, valid.
