The decorations are of two kinds, either moulded or incised. The 
moulded ones were invariably made in separate pieces and stuck on to 
the jar before it was fired ( applique work). They separate easily enough 
from the fragments of pottery, especially when saturated with salines, 
and are found by themselves in large quantities. All the heads, shown 
in Plate X, Xos. 1-18, are ornaments of this kind ; so also is the pillar 
in Plate VIII, No. 3. Pillars in situ , with Corinthian arches and Bud¬ 
dhist railings are shown in No. 1. These show distinctly the type of 
Graeco-Buddhist art, prevalent, in the earliest centuries of our era, in 
the North-western frontier provinces of India. To the same type belong 
the full and half figures, which form a very common decoration on the 
jars ; see Nos. 2, 4, 7, also Plate IX, Nos. 1-6, 20-23. On the other 
hand, the moulded ornaments on the fragment No. 22 of Plate IX 
seems to me to show rather an Indo-Parthian type, suggested by the 
half-figure wearing the torquis. Some moulded ornaments represent 
conventional types of foliage or flower, beautifully executed; see, e.g ., 
No. 1, where it seems to form the moustache of the mask, and No. 13 ; 
also Plate IX, Nos. 8, 9, 10, 15, 16. Very similar to No. 10 of Plate IX 
is an ornament shown in Purtwangler’s Mykenische Vasen , Hiilfstafel B, 
No. 4. 
The incised decoration consists of various systems of lines, dots 
and ringlets. In No. 1 these elements are arranged in the form of 
garlands ; in Nos. 2, 4, 7 we have series of lines arranged horizontally 
and vertically ; also series of ringlets arranged in a circle. A great 
variety of other arrangements may be seen, e.g ., in Plate IX, Nos. 8, 11, 
13-17. 
With respect to size, the decorated jar varied greatly. The example, 
of the body of which a portion is shown in No. 1 must have measured 
about 13 xll inches, while the jar, of which No. 7 shows the neck and 
upper part of the body, must have been very small and can have 
measured only about 4x3 inches. 3 On the other hand, the jar to the 
neck of which the fragment, shown in Plate IX, No. 23, belonged, must 
have been, to judge from the slightness of curvature of the piece, of very 
large dimensions. Vessels of the latter size, to judge from the absence 
of wheel marks on the fragments, appear to have been made entirely by 
hand. The fragments of the small and medium-sized jars, however, 
show distinct traces of having been turned on the wheel. 
In addition to these decorated jars, there existed a great variety 
of jugs and vases, single-handled and double-handled, of which some 
show very artistic designs. A comparatively plain single-handled jug 
3 So also Dr. Sven Hedin’s two jars, which, measure only about 4x3 and 3x2 
inches.
