    Appears to be some temple bust carving. Heavy - granite? Top chipped off - rest seems intact.
    Appreciate any insight.
    Thx, Mark

      Appears to be a Gandhara style stone sculpture of Buddha!

      Do you know from what country?
      Thank you, Mark
    3. Congcu, 4 years ago
      Present day North West Afghanistan and North East Pakistan.

      Thx again Congcu. Are these typically original or reproduced? Any idea of age - rarity?
    5. Congcu, 4 years ago
      Ritual objects are always in production. Age is difficult to determine when the object is made of stone. The area from where this originated has been ravaged by war for some time now. Could have been looted.
    6. Congcu, 4 years ago
      Peshawar is a part of Pakistan!
    7. Congcu, 4 years ago
      Islam forbids idolatry which is why many such objects were looted or destroyed.
