Rawak, relief sculptures. Cat. Stein LHAS Photo 6 (49)
In April 1901, the great ruined Buddhist sanctuary of Rawak was explored. Clearing the south-eastern portion of the court brought to light large series of stucco images lining the walls. Many of them were of colossal size, and closely recalled the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara. According to the evidence from coins found there, the earliest date for the Rawak sculptures is the 4th century C. E.
