The oldest Greek sculptures known were made by anonymous artists.
Ancient Greek sculptures were primarily made from materials like marble and bronze, rather than limestone and cement. While some sculptures and architectural elements used limestone, marble was favored for its durability and aesthetic qualities. Cement, as we understand it today, was not used in the same way during ancient Greek times; instead, they employed other binding materials for construction. Overall, marble and bronze were the dominant materials for Greek sculptures.
Greek sculptures are realistic in form, that means: They always look like whatever the sculpture is supposed to portrait (ex.: if it's an sculpture of a human figure, it looks like a human figure, etc...) Now, a more accurate description of Greek Sculptures would be that they are "Idealistic. Greek sculptures always portrayed men and women in a very idealist way. All men were very fit, with bulging muscles and very strong. All women were extremely beautiful and graceful.
Greek statues were naturalistic, while the Egyptian ones were stylised. Roman sculpture in the Republican period was highly realistic portraiture (busts). In the period of rule by emperors the Romans adopted full bodied statues and they were modelled on the Hellenistic sculpture of the Greeks.

Very old statues usually get a lot of rough handling and they break off. The old classic look of statues with broken arms has become a sort of symbol for classic art and so is often recreated in more recent statues. But the originals did have arms!

The earliest Buddhist sculptures were similar to classical Greek sculptures due to the cultural exchange facilitated by the conquests of Alexander the Great and the subsequent Hellenistic influence in regions like Gandhara, where Buddhism flourished. This interaction led to the adoption of Greek artistic techniques, such as realistic human figures and drapery, in the representation of Buddhist themes. Additionally, the use of iconography in both traditions showcased shared elements of storytelling and symbolism, further blurring the lines between the two artistic styles.
