Gandharan Goddess

Impressed votive clay icon depicting a Goddess from the Gandharan Kushan period 3rd to 4th century CE.

Mounted on a museum quality custom-made perspex stand, there are traces of original brown pigment and is in overall good condition. Dimensions: 10.2cm/4in height (not including stand).
