The British Museum (Gem Room) possesses a deep silver bowl, about five inches in diameter, said to come from Sogdiana, to the north of the Oxus, adorned with the figure of a four-armed goddess. It is supposed to date from Sassanian times, subsequent to a.d. 226.¹ I am disposed to think that the stone sculpture is not earlier.
