Title:

Buddhist sculpture slabs from the monastery at Mian Khan, Peshawar District: various scenes. Photographer: Serrot, M.

Scope & Content:

This is one of a series of photographs taken for Cole at Mardan by Serrot, and not, as T. Bloch, 'A list of the photographic negatives of Indian antiquities in the collection of the Indian Museum: with which is incorporated the list of similar negatives in the possession of the the India Office' (Calcutta, 1900) states, by Cole himself. Reproduced in photogravure in 'Illustrations of Graeco-Buddhist sculptures from the Yusufzai District', in vol. I of H. H. Cole, 'Preservation of monuments in India' (c. 1885), pl. 26: 'The small fragment at the upper left is part of a small circular frieze representing ascetics. The three surrounding pieces represent Buddha and his disciples. The two lower carvings are terminals with boys, on lions, pulling their tails. I afterwards found the centre piece representing a boy mounted on a standing lion.'
