This volume offers a detailed consideration of the style, technology, and iconographic implications of the art of the Scythians, organized by object typology and chronology, and considered against a broader historical, expressive, and technical background; that of the Scythians' Eurasian sources, of earlier and contemporary West Asian cultures, and of the Hellenic culture which emerged beside that of the Scythians in the northern littoral of the Black Sea.

The Study and Research of the history of Indian art and foreign influence on it, being a subject of absorbing interest, started receiving the special attention of scholars and art historians from about the beginning of the nineteenth century. The presence of the Sakas in early India is well-known to scholars. It is also known that the Sakas were a part of the Scythians. The term Scythian is generally employed to denote numerous groups of nomadic tribes from the borders of China to the Carpathians. Also, the Scythians constituted a subdivision within the large group of Scytho- Siberian early nomads inhabiting the Eurasian steppes and forest steppe- zones during the first millennium B. C. "Scythian Elements in Early Indian Art" ascertains the importance of Saka/Scythian Elements in the formation of the composite and rich nature of Indian culture.
