Dokhtar-i-Noshirwan, also Nigar, is an archaeological site in the Ḵolm valley in northern Afghanistan.[1] It is located 100 kilometers north of Bamiyan and has the largest non-Buddhist mural in Afghanistan.[2]
The mural represent a local ruler, possibly Hephthalite,[2] in an attitude similar to that of Khosrau II on one of his silver plates: seated frontally with legs spread out and his hands on a large swords standing between his knees.[2] The crown is formed by the head of a beast, framed by two wings, similar to a design known from the coins of Shahi Tegin.[2]
The artists of Dokhtar i-Noshirwan for may have come from Bamiyan or Kakrak.[3]
