Object description

"Fragment of terrakotta object. Plain tile with appliqué moulded reliefs." Montell, 1936./Is

"Among fragments of pottery from Yotkan is a group which whows with peculiar clearness the connection with Indian art. In the Hedin collection it is represented by the plaque seen in Pl. VI,5. On a perfectly plane surface are attached moulded relief details, forming an arcade, between the columns of which human figures are worked in. The columns are of Indo-Corinthian type and support arches decorated with strings of heads. The figures, of which only one is complete, represent walking men who are carrying on the left shoulder a large jar. This they steady with the right hand raised above the head. An impression of movement, and of the heaviness of the burden, is excellently well conveyed, in spite of the plainness of execution." Montell 1936, page 177-78. /Is

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
