Afghanistan’s Treasures

A long time ago, when I started working on a project with Afghanistan, I was constantly amazed -and perplexed- at discovering its “hidden” treasures… The dolphin clasp above brought to mind the pair of ancient boars I saw in Greece.

There is a dolphin statue at the airport in Kabul, which makes me wonder…what is the significance of the dolphin in Afghan culture? Alexander the Great invaded Afghanistan in 330 BC and Pakistan’s Indus River has dolphins. It is also the national mammal of Pakistan! I wish I could find some information about this.
