Hunting scene,Kafyr Kala, Tajikistan, 7th century CE. National Museum of Antiquities of Tajikistan[edit]
It seems to me as though this is a lion on the back of a centaur, not exactly a hunting scene. Can anybody who has seen it more clearly give a fuller explanation? 78.150.232.249 (talk) 22:53, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first paragraph of the lead states that Tokharistan is an "ancient Early Middle Ages" name given to the region formerly known as Bactria. The use of ancient as a qualifier for Early Middle Ages seems strange and confusing. As I can gather from the article itself, it seems like the name has ancient origins, but only began to be used to designate a specific polity of some sort in the Early Middle Ages, in which case the lead should reflect that more clearly.
If I am wrong as to the nature of the term's usage, I still would argue it better to clarify what exactly is ancient and what is medieval about this term.
