Description: | Photograph of an excavated section, showing great earthen jars, at Brahmanabad in the Hyderabad District of Sind in Pakistan, taken by Henry Cousens in 1896-7. This image shows a portion of the wall with the remains of the large jars on the left. Cousens wrote in the Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, 1897, "In the sections as shewn in the sides of the pits below...are seen, embedded, immense numbers of great earthen jars very much in the shape of country flower pots, measuring 3' to 3' 6" across the mouth and 2' 6" deep. These are below the foundations of the walls, the latter in many cases cutting through them. These and other signs shew unmistakenly that we have the ruins of two distinct cities..." | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Cousens, Henry | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
