Location
Haḍḍa, lost locationKapiça
Description
This brahman is represented as Zeus or Herakles. He is an elderly man with a beard and moustache, regular features and high cheekbones. His gaze is deep, his expression grave and noble.
Observations
The Indian element is obscured by the Western influence.
In his publication, Bathoux indicates that this modelling comes from the Kapiça. One wonders then about its presence in this inventory.
