These are representations of Tocharian princes from the Kizilgaha caves near Kucha, 6th century AD.

Do you have autosomal results of them? Wasn’t the European looking guy on the last picture of the first posting someone else(idk anymore what)?

Very nice. Some give off indic / moghul vibes some iranic vibes. There’s emphasis on red hair with a central asian touch. Actually the red hair gene is still significant in some present day central Asians probably Afanasievo derived

Some of these also remind me of Persian paintings of the Seljuk period

They were noticeably Mongolized by that late date as evidenced by slanty eyes and a round face.

There are these samples, but they are all at least 500 km away from the Kizilgaha caves.

White buddhists during the 7th century, it is quite interesting to imagine a buddhist country made from mostly white people.

Within historic times the zone of frequent blondism stretched from north western Europe across the Russian steppes into central Asia where it touched China, but violent and rapid ethnic movements in Asia have nearly eliminated this eastern extension. We do not know how long ago the distribution map of blondism assumed its present concentric and glaciation-like character.
