The Bactrian culture spread across a wide area of modern-day Afghanistan and Uzbekistan and reached its zenith between circa 2100 and 1700 B.C. Its wealth was a result of the fertility of its lands. It produced many unique and distinctive objects, the purpose of which are still unclear, but were most likely to have been votive or idolatrous in nature.
