"The Winged Crown and the Triple-crescent Crown in the Sogdian Funerary Monuments from China: Their relation to the Hephthalite Occupation of Central Asia" in <i>Journal of Inner Asian Art and Archeology</i> 2/2007:11-22.<br /><br />Another thing to check next time (if ever) I go to that big university library. (BREPOLS site handles the journal, but no access for me!)<br /><br />There is something about the "triple-crescent crown" in this fresh new free dissertation, now that I think to google for it:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.diss.fu-berlin.de/diss/receive/FUDISS_thesis_000000016150" rel="nofollow">Aydogdy Kurbanov, The Hephthalites: Archaeological and Historical Analysis, Free University (Berlin 2010).</a>Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-15589089799815955212010-07-05T14:24:49.026+03:002010-07-05T14:24:49.026+03:00There is another excellent example of a Sassanian ...There is another excellent example of a Sassanian solar-lunar crown in <a href="http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/Images2/Sasanian/artifacts/Metalworks/Sasanian_silver_plate.jpg" rel="nofollow">this royal hunting scene</a>.<br /><br />Go here for the original context:<br /><br />http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/History/Sasanian/sasanid.htm<br /><br /><br /><br />.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-25493921104597521332010-06-17T21:14:52.687+03:002010-06-17T21:14:52.687+03:00Unable to critique because of lack of knowledge, I...Unable to critique because of lack of knowledge, I, nonetheless, much appreciate this attempt to observe comings and goings in the history of Central Asia.
