Objects chosen:
- #2: Sale contract of slave-girl [Sogdian Language Contract for the Purchase of a Female Slave]
- #243: Fragment of a Wall Painting with a Scene from Mahabharata
- #56: Zoroastrian prayer, the Ashem Vohu, Sogdian MS
- #305: A letter from Arab governor to supreme priest of Samarqand
- #299: Two-headed Buddha
I’m choosing these objects because they all seem to play in with the themes I have picked, mostly in terms of religion. I want to look into how these objects, that relate to different religions on first look, apply to Sogdian religious activities and culture. I’m also interested in looking at the Sogdian people, and objects like #2 may give me a view into the dealings of the people.
