The so-called Hephthalite Bowl (featuring Alchon and Kidara Huns) 460-479 CE
"In 457, according to the Chinese chronicle Weishu, the country of Sute, i.e. Sogdiana, was ruled by a Xiongnu (Hun) king named Huni, who was the third of his line".
-A Hunnish Kushan-shah by Aman Ur Rahman, Frantz Grenet, and Nicholas Sims-Williams
The figure in the center is possibly a Hephthalite, or may be another type of Hun. |

Some say the inscription says Khingila, the Alchon ruler. Though it really doesn't appear to. |
