This smiling female figure has her hair tied up to one side, wound around with an embroidered strip of cloth. She stands akimbo with her upper garment removed and tied in a loose looped knot at her side. A broad girdle holds up her clinging, diaphanous skirt. She has the ideal female form of a young mother, and since she holds a spear, she may have served a protective function.

Reposted from @syossetcoin Huvishka, Kushan Emperor during its golden age, circa 150-180AD. Here he is shown lounging on a couch, one arm resting on a pillow, one leg dangling below. I like to think that he is enjoying a quiet moment, contemplating the greatness of the Kushan Empire at its peak. In his hands, he holds an uncertain cylindrical object. I have not been able to find out what it is, but I like to think that it is a can of cold beer. #huvishka #kushan #kapisha #begram #couch #couchlounger #numismatic #numismatics #coin #coins #syossetcoin #history #coincollecting #coincollector #money https://www.instagram.com/p/B790JeHhlbr/?igshid=laongkrj58hm
