the notice of the international scholarship, the murals of the Red Hall, in the palace of Varakhsha—a fortified town on the North-western fringes of the Bukhara oasis (Uzbekistan), excavated by Vassilij A. Šiškin in the years 1937-1938 and 1949-19541—are still an unsolved riddle. Decades of diggings in Sogdia, Ustrushana, Tokharestan and Chorasmia have yielded an impressive number of wall paintings, yet nowhere do we find evidence of a composition comparable to the one displayed in Varakhsha’s Red Hall.
To discover the meaning the iconographic programme of the Red Hall is not an easy task, and this contribution is unlikely to bring the debate to a close. The following notes aim rather at broadening, or re-orienting, the scope of the analysis.

The relationship with deities and the ancestors’ worship, which are major themes in this field of research, link the Kushan dynastic temples to a group of comparable royal shrines, mostly situated on the outskirt of the Iranian world. A comparison with Eurasian traditions may represent a promising path for future investigation.
