Pakistani traditions of Hellenistic sculptures part 3: The Spinario (The Boy with Thorn)

The spinario was made in the first century A.D. The marble statue depicts a boy siting with his legs crossed while he is trying to remove a thorn from the sole of the left foot. The yellow background contains patterns of the Balochi Embroidery. The embroideries are done on a shirt (Pashk) covering the front of the dress, the cuffs of the trousers and sleeves and on a large pocket (goptan or pandol) stretching from the waist to the hem of the dress)
