Abstract

This paper presents unpublished glass medallions retrieved from the royal and aristocratic buildings excavated in Ghazni (Afghanistan). This batch is to be related to the already known glass medallions which emerged in Termez and those purchased and reportedly coming from the Afghan area ascribed to the late Ghaznavid and Ghurid periods. The iconographic repertoire and function, possibly as elements of architectural decoration, offer interesting matters of debate.
