Items for sale fromany-antiques  


Collection of four rare ancient gandhara statue and sculptures heads figurine dating pre Islam 1ste 2nd 3de century i guess. They origin from the current Pakistan Afghanistan area. This area converted to Islam after the 6th century and they destroyed all the god statues that people were worshiping which were not Islam related. The most comment practice was to brake off the heads. Nice lot for a starter of will enhance any ancient collection.
