Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on iconographic materials that may be relevant to the Hephthalites who lived on the territory of Central Asia and neighboring countries in the 4th-6th centuries AD. In the 5th-6th centuries the Hephthalites created a great empire. It should be noted that these materials are very scarce, even the dating is approximate and often inaccurate. However, the author tried to interpret data available from various sources related to the Hephthalites, despite the fact that some major questions still remain open to debate and will likely remain so.
