These itineraries are often referred to by the term Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur - from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments.Nishapur lost its poSquare Brush Washer: Guan ware, 1127-1279.

Rock crystal was revered in the early Buddhist world for its purity and ability to transmit light. Each hemisphere has a receptacle to accommodate relics of the Buddhaash, gold, charred bone, and pearlsand a stopper in the form of a square terraced capital (harmika) surmounted by umbrellas. According to early Buddhist Vinaya texts prescribing monastic conduct, the corporeal relics of the Buddha were to be deposited in a reliquary and housed in a sarira stupa. Multiple relic containers were to be provided, with a gold or rock-crystal reliquary at the heart of the assemblage containing the actual relic. Similar rock-crystal reliquaries have been excavated from monumental stupas in central and western Sri Lanka, such as those at Anuradhapura and Dalivada, datable to the early centuries A.D.
