of Hephthalite art", which is similar in composition with the
Hephthalite silver bowl in the British Museum, but represents
"six dancers in Indian costume with Iranian ribbons and
Hephthalite-short heads". It is considered as an Alchon object,
but possibly manufactured in India at the request of the
