As seen in the early 1st century BCE examples below, Hariti was sometimes depicted in a monumental [[yakshi]] form, accompanied by or carrying one or more children. The iconography of the Greek goddess [[Tyche]] shows similarities to Hārītī, and may have been transmitted to East Asia from Gandharan India through the influence of [[Greco-Buddhism]]. In [[Greek art]], Tyche was depicted in the presence of children, carrying a [[cornucopia]] (horn of plenty), an [[emblem]]atic [[Gubernaculum (classical)|gubernaculum]] (ship's rudder), and the [[Rota Fortunae|wheel of fortune]]; she may stand on the wheel, presiding over the entire circle of fate.<ref>Katsumi Tanabe, ''Alexander the Great: East-West Cultural Contact from Greece to Japan'' (Tokyo: NHK Puromōshon and Tokyo National Museum, 2003).</ref> We also see Kushan influences via the goddess Ardoksho or [[Ardoxsho]].
