EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of relics unearthed from the ancient city of Brahmunabad, located in the Sind region of what is now Pakistan. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1857, features a diverse array of artifacts discovered by Mr. A.F. Bellasis, a civil servant from Bombay, during his personal excavations at the site. The relics date back to the 8th or 9th century and offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The items depicted include various forms of pottery, ironwork, and glass. Fig. 14 showcases a bronze ornament, reminiscent of those seen in Buddhist sculptures and paintings from the Cave Temples. Figs. 15 display bronze ornaments, one of which is the handle of a dagger or other small weapon. Fig. 16 reveals crucibles used for purifying gold and silver. Other items include an oil lamp of pottery (Fig. 17), finger-rings made of metal (Fig. 18) and glass (Fig. 19), cornelian and agate beads, armlets, and ornaments (Fig. 19), curious cornelian ornaments (Fig. 20), and small glass uttarans or bottles for otto of roses (Fig. 21). Fragments of the necks of glass bottles (Fig. 22) and molds for earrings and other female ornaments (Fig. 23) are also featured. These relics offer a fascinating insight into the daily life and artistic achievements of the people who inhabited Brahmunabad over a thousand years ago. The knowledge of the art of blowing and cutting glass, as evidenced by the uttarans, is particularly noteworthy, demonstrating the advanced craftsmanship of the time. This collection serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Sind region and the importance of archaeological discoveries in understanding our shared history.
