Sculpture slab from the lower monastery at Nuttu, Peshawar District: Boys with a garland. Photographer: Serrot, M.
- Scope & Content:
-
This is one of a series of photographs taken for Cole at Mardan by Serrot, and not, as Bloch's list 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. 14 (lower half): 'The style of ornament is Graeco-Roman, like the sways, or garlands, which decorate the entablature of the temple of Vesta at Tripoli, daring 70 B.C. The garland has a Buddhistic significance, and to this day garlands of cloth are carried in procession in Burma to adorn topes or sacred trees. They are frequently represented in the Bharhut and Sanchi sculptures, and are seen depending from the sacred Bodhi tree and placed round topes. Two of the figures behind the garland have wings, and play a guitar and gong, or tambourine. The two supporting figures are playing the drum and cymbals.'
