Sculpture slab from Rhode Tope, Sanghao, Peshawar District: Buddha meeting a Naga king. Photographer: Serrot, M.
- Scope & Content:
-
This is one of a series of photographs taken for H. H. Cole at Mardan by Serrot, and not, as stated in 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), 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. 8: 'This is one of the panels placed between pilasters to surround the topes of the monastery. It represents Buddha's visit to the king and queen of the Nagas or snakes; Devadetta, Buddha's hostile cousin, stands on the left with the usual club in his hand. The meaning is that Devadetta has entrapped Buddha into visiting Nagas in hopes of their putting an end to him, but the divine influence is too strong and they worship him. Devadetta, enraged at his want of success, bolts up the mountain.'
