• Statue with attributes of Ardoxho and a city goddess. Haloed image of a female wearing a rimmed crown decorated with a cross hatched pattern. It is similar to one often worn by Śakra in Gandhāran reliefs. She holds a cornucopia and has a tower rising out of her right shoulder. She sits with legs pendant with legs splayed in a pose similar to that often held by Hāritī (for example see NG432).
