Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Box Lid with a Bull. Pakistan (ancient region of Gandhara), 5th–6th century. Phyllitic brown schist, Gr. H. 2 3/4 in. (7 cm). Metropolitan Museum of Art. Box lids are a rare Gandharan example of non-religious art. The animal surrounded by swirling foliage is a motif originally found in north India. Such luxury objects moved readily along the trade routes to Afghanistan and Central Asia and are the clear source for images such as the goose with foliate tale from the Khotan site of Pialma.

Les couvercles de boîte sont un exemple rare au Gandhara d'art non religieux. L'animal, entouré par le feuillage qui tournoie est un motif, à l'origine, d'Inde du Nord. Ces objets de luxe se trouvent le plus souvent le long des routes de commerce entre l'Afghanistan et l'Asie centrale et sont la source claire pour les images comme l'oie à la queue empennée de feuilles découverte sur le site de Pialma à Khotan, au Metropolitan Museum of Art : [1]
