Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue and Hand-Book of the Archeological Collections in the Indian Museum, Vol. 1: Asoka and Indo-Scythian Galleries Some explanation, I feel, is due from me regard ing the circumstances that have led me to attempt the compilation of a Catalogue of, and Hand-book to, the Antiquities in this Museum, in view of the fact that my pursuits have been more those of a Zoologist th an of an Antiquarian. After the first part of the Catalogue of the Mammalia was completed, it was found necessary that I should vacate the only available quarters in the Museum building that would admit of my continuing Zoological work, as the Government had provided the funds necessary for furnishing the Gallery I then occupied with cases for exhibition purposes. It so happened that at that time, I was deputed, by the Trustees of the Museum, to explore the Zoology of the Mergui Archipelago, and it was believed that suit able working rooms would be ready by my return, in five or six months. This, however, was unfortunately not the case, and I, therefore, was not in a position to proceed with Zoological work.

INDIAN MUSEUM. ASOKA GALLERY. The first gallery of the archaeological section of the Museum is chiefly occupied with a portion of the railing, and one gateway of the Buddhist Stupa of Bharhut. They were removed from Bharhut to Calcutta, in order to save them from destruction by the ignorant peasantry who were in the habit of utilising the ruins of the Stupa as a quarry for building purposes. Some fragments of the pillars and coping, and a few crossbars of the quadrangular Buddhist railing of Buddha Gaya, have been built up as a restoration. The gallery also contains a series of fine casts of the friezes of the rock-cut temples of Orissa; and a few casts from the Sanchi Stupa. Gateway and Bailing of the Bharhut Stupa. The gateway of the Bharhut Stupa1 has been partially restored, and portions of two quadrants have been erected on either side of it in order to convey some idea of the nature of the structure. The gateway belonged to the eastern side of the Stupa, and it therefore now occupies the same relation to the quadrants as it did in the original building. A plan of the railing and Stupa hangs near the western wall, opposite the gateway. 1 Stupa is from a Sanskrit root meaning "to heap" or "to erect," and has been corrupted in English into "Tope." The term stupa is applicable " to any pile or mound, as to a funeral pile, hence it comes to be applied to a Tumulus erected over any of the sacred relics of Buddha, or on spots consecrated as the scenes of his acts."--Burgess and Fergusson's Cave Temples of India, p. 171. The term Dagoba, which is generally restricted to a stupa cut out of the solid rock in caves, is derived, according to the authors of the Cave Temples of India, from dhatugarbha or dhdtugopa, ...

Book Catalogue and Hand Book of the Arch ological Collections in the Indian Museum

Download or read book Catalogue and Hand Book of the Arch ological Collections in the Indian Museum written by John Anderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue and Hand-Book of the Archæological Collections in the Indian Museum, Vol. 2 In the preface to the first part of tins Catalogue it was stated that the 'finds' from the cromlechs (tumuli) of Southern India were exhibited in the Gupta gallery. With reference to this, it has now to be explained that this arrangement has not been adhered to, as the space available in this gallery was not sufficient for the purpose. The objects in question have, therefore, now been placed in the Inscription gallery, the room which likewise contains nearly all the more important inscriptions belonging to the Museum. I have again to thank Dr. Mitra for the assistance he has given me by translating several short inscriptions, and also Babu Pratapa Chandra Ghosha for similar help. My thanks are also due to Mr. F. R. Mallet for having made analyses of various metallic objects; and also to Professor C. J. H. Warden for the quantitative analyses of a number of similar objects specially detailed in Appendix D. Mr. H. B. Medlicott has been so good as to determine various rocks out of which many of the ancient sculptures in the Museum are carved, and the results of his identifications are given in Appendix E.

Book Supplementary Catalogue of the Archaeological Collection of the Indian Museum

Download or read book Supplementary Catalogue of the Archaeological Collection of the Indian Museum written by Theodor Bloch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplementary Catalogue of the Archaeological Collection of the Indian Museum Dr. John Anderson's excellent 'Catalogue and Hand-book' of the Archaeological collections in the Indian Museum was published as far back as 1883, and, during the twenty-seven years that have elapsed since then, the Museum Galleries have been enriched by the acquisition of a large array of valuable sculptures and other antiquities. It is with these additions, numbering more than 3000 in all, that this supplement deals. It was the last work to be accomplished by the late Dr. Theodor Bloch before his untimely death in September, 1909, and was written by him at a time when his health and strength were fast failing and at a season of the year when the climate of Calcutta must have been peculiarly distressing to him. Yet, in spite of these adverse conditions, and in spite, too, of the haste in which the task was done, this short supplement has a special value for us, inasmuch as it embodies the opinions and ideas of one who had been closely associated with the Museum for over fourteen years, and who had come to be recognized as the first authority on the antiquities of Eastern India. It is for this reason that, in passing Dr. Bloch's manuscript through the Press, I have made it my aim to introduce as few corrections as possible, even though I believed that the author himself would not have been sparing of them, had he been able to revise the proofs. The only additions of any significance that I have made are those relating to the measurements and materials of the exhibits, the details of which have been supplied by my assistant, Babu Rakhal Das Banerji.
