For your consideration this lot includes Seventy+ (70+) Parthian Dynasty Pottery Fragments, circa 2 BC - 2 AD. Procured in Afghanistan, 1969-1972. Provenance: the Owen D. Mort, Jr. Collection. Owen David Mort was an American engineer who amassed an impressive collection throughout his worldwide travels.

His collection includes Afghan, Indian, Mughal, Parthian, Persian and Far East Asian art and artifacts. Khwaja Khanum is located in the northeast area of Afghanistan, inside the Kushan empire, which from approximately 200 B.C. until 200 A.D. was the furthest east Hellenistic-Greek state.
