The Hermes of Loulan by unknown artist 200-400 CE. Height: 140 mm (5.51 in); width: 130 mm (5.11 in). National Museum, New Delhi.

"Fragment of a tapestry showing right portion of the face of a man with the staff that reminds one of a caduceus. The face-cut, large eyes, the brown curly hair and the complexion as well as the staff indicate that the man is from a European country instead of Central Asia, India or China. It shows strong similarity with the figures found in the wall paintings from Miran."
