1897.] Haraprasad pastri — Burmese Inscribed Pottery. 165 



But the nature of the characters indicates that these bricks are not 

 of Burmese manufacture. The cut of the faces of Buddha is Indian 

 and not Burmese. It appears that these were taken away by 

 Burmese pilgrims from Magadha and treasured up as holy souvenirs of 

 their distant pilgrimage. I beg to draw the attention of the Society 

 to these not so much for their intrinsic worth as for the prospect they 

 hold out of finding things interesting to Indian antiquarians in such 

 distant places as Pagan and Tagoung.
