"Boar heads set in pearl roundels were an important protective motif popular in Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. Paintings that show textiles with boar roundels and peacocks are found in the Buddhist caves of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, attesting to the importance of this subject in Buddhist contexts."
