torques - steppe<br />
stylistic conventions - <strong>Parthia</strong><br />
headdresses - steppe<br />
profile - ?<br />
vine leaves, grapes and tendrils - <strong>Parthia</strong><br />
Hellenistic traits(?) - ?<br />
‘crowd scene’ - <strong>Parthia</strong><br />
ivory - <strong>Parthia</strong><br />
Elite nature of the evidence – monumental mural art and carved ivory furniture<br />
Not blanket copying from the Iranian world; a <strong>Chorasmia</strong>n filter – active role of<br />

Conundrum: is there a link between <strong>Parthia</strong> and <strong>Chorasmia</strong>? What is the nature of<br />
