The mystery of the bird depiction on ancient Sogdian silver vessels
If we look at the ancient history of Central Asia, there are certain works of art through which it is possible to understand the worldview of an entire era. Silver vessels belonging to Sogdian culture — especially plates featuring bird imagery — are among such unique artifacts. Today, these objects are preserved in the pre-Islamic period section of the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan and attract the attention of researchers with their deep symbolic meaning.
