Bactrian Schist Stone Box
DESCRIPTION:
Circular Bactrian schist container with four curved compartments forming a rosette around a central round section. A large hole interrupts two of the outer compartments and is offset by two small indentions along the container’s wall. The exterior exhibits an intricately carved hunting scene as well as decorative flora. Dating from approximately 1000 BC, the box is missing its lid but remains in good condition.
