Description: This exquisite terracotta tile fragment hails from the ancient Gandhara civilization, known for its rich fusion of Greco-Buddhist art. Dating back to the Indo-Greek period, this piece is a stunning example of the craftsmanship of that era. The tile depicts a warrior or royal figure mounted on horseback, wielding a sword or spear, symbolizing power and authority. The figure is surrounded by intricate geometric patterns, possibly with symbolic or script-like motifs on the right side. This artifact is crafted from clay, bearing the unique weathered patina that comes with centuries of age. The attention to detail, especially in the rider's attire and the horse’s adornments, reflects the Hellenistic influence on the region's art, combined with local South Asian traditions. Period: Indo-Greek, Gandhara Material: Terracotta/Clay Depiction: Warrior or King on horseback Condition: Fragmentary but well-preserved with visible details of the figure and surrounding designs. Provenance: Gandhara region This rare and collectible piece is perfect for those passionate about ancient history, Indo-Greek art, and the Gandhara civilization.
