A Central Asian Silver Dish with a Greek Mythological Scene found in Dulan (Qinghai)

Abstract

One metal dish from Reshui royal Tibetan graves (Dulan, Qinghai Province) recently entered the collection of the Dulan County Museum after being confiscated by Chinese police. The scene on the dish is not easily distinguishable because of the bad state of preservation of this metalwork. The present short paper discusses the possibility that this scene could be identified as an episode of the Trojan War that included Ajax and Cassandra.
