This artifact, found in Rokhri District Mianwali, Punjab, depicts a youthful noble lady with a lavish golden headpiece and an intricate hairstyle. A portion of her hair is curled and dyed with henna, a practice that still continues in parts of Pakistan. This artwork shows influence from Gandhara, a once thriving Kingdom and culture of North Punjab and North-West regions of Pakistan. This piece is very rare and precious as it is one of the few artifacts of this region with it's coloring still intact and offers a valuable insight into the culture and people of ancient Pakistan.
Currently in the Lahore Museum.
