The Hephthalites invaded and ruled far Northern India in the 5th-7th centuries. These statues may not be in proportion, but have some interesting features: Hephthalite Statues of Horsemen, Gool, Jammu region, the State of Jammu and Kashmir, India, 5th-7th centuries

Hephthtalites in India is an army I've been tempted to collect simply because the DBX list is so trippy (superior light horse, superior elephants, and some really crappy subject troops). I guess these sculptures go well with the trippiness … |

Is any of that still left in Afghanistan, or have the religious barbarians erased all evidence of their existence too, the way they've done with Kushan murals and statues? Dan |
