Bust of Warrior
Tapa Kalān - Figure
The upper cornice of the architrave that this warrior in a Atlas-like position pretended to support is still visible. His hair cascades down his shoulders and he wears large disc-shaped earrings. The expression is vindictive: eyebrows furrowed, mouth open and teeth clenched into a ferocious smile. Shirtless, he protects himself behind a round shield and brandishes a polygonal sword, perhaps of Kushan origin. He wears a bandage or a reinforcement of leather straps for combat, between his chest and navel.
