Bagram Hoard

The excavation site contains two sealed strongrooms that held more than one thousand decorative ivory plaques, bronze items, and glass objects from ancient times.

French archaeologists discovered this collection between 1936 and 1940, revealing a substantial cache of artifacts dating from the first and second centuries CE.

The discovered items demonstrate the influence of multiple civilizations, combining artistic elements from Greek, Indian, and Central Asian traditions through trade connections.

The National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul maintains a section dedicated to displaying recovered items from this archaeological discovery alongside educational materials.

The site yielded the largest collection of ancient enameled glass pieces ever found, including a rare blue amphora and a glass vial shaped like a fish.
