We bought this from an antiquities dealer from Afghanistan. We became interested in Bactria when we lived in Afghanistan.
Very nice, Anna. I have not seen this type before. I do have the decorated pottery and some necklaces of shell material.
verry nice, anna. it looks for sure beautiful on dark wood
@Harald: Yes, I have some of those diagonally striated pieces, only a few, because some have been sold. And I have a lot of shell beads, both on necklaces and as loose pieces. My family is rather fanatic about Bactrian artifacts. I like the beads and pots and my husband likes the copper (Early Bronze) geometric seals.
@ait ouakli: Thank you for your always kind comments.
