Gold head from the Oxus treasure, Achaemenid Persian, 5th-4th century BC. Beaten gold head of a beardless youth with pierced ears. It may have been part of a statue, perhaps in another material such as wood. It is part of the Oxus treasure, the most important collection of gold and silver to have survived from the Achaemenid period. The treasure was found on the banks of the River Oxus, Takht-i Kuwad, Tadjikistan, and probably comes from a temple there.
