Spectacular Gandharan Stucco Head of Buddha, India Catalogue: Archives: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: Pre AD 1000 item# 478916
click for details		Janus Antiquities (330) 612-3957 SOLD
Gandharan refers to an artistic style that developed in what is now northwestern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan between the 1st century BC and the 7th century AD. Its roots lie in the Greco-Roman influence first introduced into the region by Alexander the Great, and subsequently by the trade of the Roman and Byzantine empires. Therefore, it presents an interesting fusion of traditionally Indian iconography and Roman motifs like vines, cherubs, tritons & centaurs. ...click for details

click for details		Janus Antiquities (330) 612-3957 SOLD
This attractive pottery cup can be attributed to the Kulli culture of ancient Pakistan, and probably more specifically to the site of Nindowari (see Asthana's "Pre-Harappan Cultures of the Borderlands", page 131, and the plates from Possehl's "Kulli: An Exploration of an Ancient Civilization in South Asia"). It features a vegetal motif around the rim which is typical of pottery from this period and region. ...click for details

The ancient world was caught off guard by the speed at which Islam spread, especially during the early eight century A.D. In less than 100 years this new religion had spread further and faster than Christianity had spread in the previous six centuries combined. At the same time that Islamic armies were conquering Spain in 711 A.D., Islamic forces were also pushing as far east as modern Pakistan into the kingdom of Sindh. Raja Dabir of Sindh had aided rebel Persian leaders in attempting to overt ...click for details

click for details		Janus Antiquities (330) 612-3957 SOLD
While increasingly more and more people have heard of the Indus Valley and its ancient civilization, very few have heard of the smaller towns and villages to the northwest that predated the urban Indus civilization that was centered in Harappa and Mohenjodaro. The "Nal culture" seems to have been a critical final stepping stone before these late Bronze Age cities developed. Centered in Baluchistan, a province of modern Pakistan, the Nal sites comprise a number of towns and villages, in ...click for details

click for details		Janus Antiquities (330) 612-3957 SOLD
