Context:
Because the woman's widely set, heavy-lidded eyes suggest Indian facial types, she may well represent a Sasanian goddess who was associated with the cult of the Indian god Siva. Known in India as Durga, Siva's wife, and in Iran as Nana, she decapitateda demon who appeared in buffalo form.Both this and the horse rhyton were found crushed flat in tombs. Their reconstruction took many months to complete.
