The modelling pastes of the monumental terracruda sculpture of the Silk Roads: archaeometric study of the Tepe Narenj and Qol-e-tut examples (Kabul, Afghanistan)
<p>These data are the results of the mineralogical, petrographic and chemical study of different archaeological samples related to terracruda sculptures and other elements that were part of the architectural decoration of the Buddhist sites of Tepe Narenj and Qol-e-tut (Kabul, Afghanistan - 5th to 11th centuries CE). The main objective of the study was to characterize the samples using an archaeometric approach. The study helped to better understand the materials involved in the modelling of Afghan sculptures and their processing, such as the different nature of the clay layers and the finishing "stucco" coating. The results further indicate that similarities exist among the manufacturing process of the studied samples and that used today by an ancient caste of clay-artists in West Bengal (India), suggesting the existence of a continuous technological tradition that deserves to be further explored in the future. </p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials – S1. </strong>Bengali artist adding <em>bele-mati</em> to model the final shape of a terracruda sculpture (Kumortuli, Kolkata, 2019).</p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials - S2. </strong>Pictures of the sculpture samples</p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials - S3. </strong>Pictures of the relief and mural painting samples</p> <p><strong>Supplementary materials - S4</strong>.
