There is an excellent image of two wrestlers going at it on an inscribed slab in the Peshawar Museum  which is generally described as a "wrestler's weight." It is illustrated, among other places, in the exhibition catalogue "Gandhara: das Buddhistiche Erbe Pakistans," no. 220, p. 324. A scan of the image is attached. For the inscription, see CKI no. 143 (https://gandhari.org/a_inscription.php?catid=CKI0143)

Hello, 

I'm wondering if anyone is able to help with a query on sculptural representations of wrestling in South Asia? 
Actually, I'm particularly interested in any representations related, in any way, to wrestling, from as far back as 3000bce to around 1500ce. 

I'd like to talk with someone off list, if possible. 

Thanks. 


All the best,
