Description
A handsome very large storage vessel. The Kushan empire was an Indo-European confederation of nomadic pastoralists who migrated from the arid grassland in NW part of modern Chinese province of Gansu and settled in ancient Bactria around 135 BCE. The Kushan controlled a large territory including present day Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan during a period of great wealth.
