The first art of Bactria, located in the north of modern-day Afghanistan, was produced by the Bactrian-Margiana Archaeology Complex beginning in about 2000 B.C. The art of this culture includes distinctive bronze stamp seals, stone sculptures, including miniature columns of alabaster and marble, and composite figurines. Subsequently, this area became the northern-most Satrapy (province) in the Persian Empire. When the Persian Empire fell to Alexander the Great, Bactria became part of the Seleucid empire, ruled by Alexander’s successors.
