Description
Gandharan, 1st century BC to 1st century AD. An undated archaistic carved discoid plaque with raised border, reclining bearded figure to the bowl. 239 grams, 11 cm (4 1/4"). Acquired UK art market, in the 1980s. Schist cups such as these are found at a number of Gandharan sites and would appear to be associated with religious libations.
