Description: | Photograph of Buddhist sculpture slabs from the monastery at Mian Khan in Peshawar District showing various scenes in the Buddha's life.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. '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.'
