Ancient Greco-Bactrian Schist Figure Plaque Sculpture (200-100 BCE)

Item Details

Description

This schist figure plaque from the Greco-Bactrian era measures 4 cm by 3.8 cm by 1 cm (approximately 1.57x1.50x0.39 inches). Dated to between 200 and 100 BCE, it showcases the fusion of Greek and Bactrian artistic styles that flourished in the region following Alexander the Great's incursion into Central Asia. The depiction on the plaque is emblematic of the cultural syncretism of the period, blending classical Greek artistry with Bactrian motifs. Such plaques were often embedded in architectural structures or used in religious contexts, indicating the importance of the image portrayed. The schist material provided a durable medium for the artisans, ensuring the longevity of their work. Collectors will appreciate this piece for its historical significance, representing a dynamic era of cultural blending and artistic innovation.
