Title:

Reconstructed small stupa, Swat Valley. Photographer: Caddy, Alexander Edwin

Scope & Content:

Genre: Archaeological Photography

'A fanciful restauration 'from portions found near Gandheri'' (Bloch). Now in the Indian Museum, where this photograph may have been taken. '...The present village of Gandheri, which may be connected with the old name Gandhara...A little north of Gandheri, and not a mile from the village, the site of a stupa is traceable. A small vihara, such as is generally found near stupas, was excavated here; the base was standing, and it has since been built up with other portions excavated near it. The sculpture is very old and good, and much of it shows traces of gilding. It has been made over to the Imperial Museum.' (H. A. Deane, 'Notes on Udyana and Gandhera', Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1896, pp. 667-668).
