Bust of Monkey
Tapa-i Kafarihā - Figure
The crudely recessed notches imitate the animal's coat, as can be seen in the Gandharian works depicting the scene of the Monkey Offering.
Observation :J. Barthoux had identified this fragment as the bust of a warrior covered with a roughly figured chain mail.
