‼️THREAD OF AFGHAN ANTIQUITIES AT RISK‼️ Afghan heritage is currently under threat of looting and illicit traffic. Help us protect the identity & history of Afghan people by sharing this thread. Categories of Afghan objects at risk⬇️ –images depict examples, not stolen objects–

🔹PRE-ISLAMIC PERIOD🔹 Pottery goblets with pipal design, from Mundigak, 3rd millenium BC, 9–19 cm. Early metal artefacts (flat blades, arrowheads, axe heads and blades) of varying shapes. Cosmetic jars of metal, sometimes with three legs, and in the shape of an animal.

Bactrian statuettes made of chlorite and calcite (usually with an exceedingly small head and elaborate dress). They are said to come from a very broad area covering northern Afghanistan, but also eastern Iran, and southern Turkmenistan. Size: maximum 14 cm high.
