Extract

These two caskets, relic bowls, with Kharoṣṭhī inscriptions in North-western Prakrit (Gandhārī) are in the collection of Professor Samuel Eilenberg. The larger casket (Plates I–IV) of dark grey steatite is in height 10.8 cm. with seven inscribed lines, the smaller casket (Plate V) of lighter grey steatite, 7 cm. with three lines. They are of Buddhist origin and similar to the Bajaur casket published by N. G. Majumdar in Epigraphia Indica, XXIV, 1937, 1–8, and commented upon by Sten Konow in Epigraphia Indica, XXVII, 1940, 52–8.
