Hi, here is a pic of a headless statue which is supposed to be of Kanishka who was a Kushan ruler of probable Yuezhi ethnicity who ruled from 78AD to 151AD but already I am thinking that's a long reign so maybe there were a couple of the same name however on this image he seems to have 2 longswords and scabbards and also a dagger or akinakes but just putting it up because of topic. I assume the sword he is resting his right hand on is some symbol of his kingship.
