Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of a Tour in the Punjab in 1878-79, Vol. 14
The largest of these heads consists of the face only, from the roots of the hair to the chin, and without the ears. In this broken state it measures 22 inches in height and 21 inches across. In its unbroken state it must have been not less than 25 inches in height. A portion of the circular aureole belonging to this figure was found in the same place.
The second head was 22 inches in height from chin to top of hair and 20 inches across the face. The mouth, which was much broken, was 5 inches long, and the ears were long and pendent. The hair was curly, and the head was no doubt that of Buddha.
