Description: | Photograph of a section of an excavation showing a well made from earthenware cylinders in Brahmanabad in the Hyderabad District of Sindh in Pakistan, taken by Henry Cousens in 1896-7. This view of the excavated trench with an exposed pile of large cylinders has an Indian figure standing beside the rings. Cousens wrote in Brahmanabad-Mansura in Sind, Archaeological Survey of India, Annual Report 1903-04 , "Close to the large mound, in the north-west corner of the city...is a curious deep narrow well. It is about two feet in diameter, and is formed of deep earthenware rings or cylinders, placed one above another, to form, as it were, a great vertical pipe. Each section is provided with flanges so as to prevent the one telescoping into the other...." | 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 |
