卡尔查延在乌兹别克斯坦的位置

卡尔查延（乌孜别克语：Xolchayon）是乌兹别克斯坦南部苏尔汉河州德诺夫（英语：Denov）（苏尔汉河河谷）附近的考古遗址，为贵霜帝国或其祖先月氏人所建造，年代约为公元前1世纪中期。1959年至1963年间由苏联考古学家加莉娜·普加钦科娃（英语：Galina Pugachenkova）带领的团队挖掘卡尔查延^[1]，她认为此遗址为一座宫殿，由贵霜统治者赫拉欧斯下令建造，不过另有学者认为此处为奉祀神化祖先的神庙^[6]。

艺术

卡尔查延遗址内部墙上有泥塑与壁画，其描绘的主题可能包括公元前2世纪的人事物^[8]，包括贵霜帝国的战事（例如贵霜与塞迦的战争）、宴会、统治者肖像、盟友帕提亚人与希腊、西亚和伊朗等地的神祇（库柏勒、密斯拉（英语：Mithra）、赫丘利、雅典娜与尼刻等），为巴克特里亚艺术的重要里程碑^[1]。画中描绘的月氏人物形象大多风度翩翩，塞迦人则常被描绘成留有络腮胡的丑陋形象^[9]。

历史学家本杰明·罗兰（Benjamin Rowland）认为卡尔察延的艺术风格源于希腊化时期艺术，可能直接受尼萨与阿伊哈努姆（英语：Ai-Khanum）等中亚城市的艺术影响，且与年代较晚的希腊式佛教艺术（犍陀罗艺术）有相似之处，可能为后者的起源。罗兰特别指出卡尔查延出土著名的月氏王子的头像和犍陀罗菩萨头像十分相像，可能是将地方贵族的形象神格化创作而成，显示犍陀罗艺术受卡尔查延艺术的影响^[7]。

The knights in chain-mail armour have analogies in the Khalchayan reliefs depicting a battle of the Yuezhi against a Saka tribe (probably the Sakaraules).
