	TWO ASPECTS OF SERINDIAN ART
		However, for example, the exhibit did not really point out that Serindian art also influenced late Gandharan art in the area of the Ghorband river in terms of technique.
		These Bodhisattvas heads were made between the 6th and 7th centuries, and the Serindian heads are moon shaped reflecting traits of the local population.
		The art historian Mario Bussagli attributes Gandharan influences in Serindia to a possible artistic diaspora after Shapur I was responsible for the fall of the Kushan Empire in 242 A.D. Gandharan art lasted for more than five centuries in a peaceful cosmopolitan region under Kushan rule.

	A Siva Icon from Piandjikent with a Foreword by Prof. Alexander Soper
		It may be useful to add a few comparisons from the serindian region that show the spread of artistic and iconographical themes comparable to the second Piandjikent painting.
		Since the only available illustration of this remarkable dated serindian piece is very mediocre, I show instead a detail from a closely similar, better preserved pillar found at Turfan, which must have been done at the same period with rather less fidelity to the Indian prototype
		Even so the rather loose-jointed deity is an awkward first cousin to the energetic and tense Siva (Pl. 53).

	Books for Travel Ltd
		We are currently offering for sale: "Sand Buried Ruins Of Khotan" by Sir Aurel Stein, a popular account of his first archaeological expedition into Central Asia from 1900 to 1901.
		It is his most charming and exciting book which is partly a witty and entertaining travelogue, partly a journal of exceptional archaeological exploration and partly Stein’s proof to himself that his theory of the long lost Buddhist kingdoms of the Silk Road and the Serindian culture they supported was indeed correct.
		It is something of a detective story for it contains his own description of how he unmasked Islam Akhun, the forger of the strange documents in unknown script which had so long puzzled the academic community.

		As I was wandering among those huge and magnificent collections I found myself attracted to a group of sculptures which stood out as strangely different.
		These were the Ghandara and Serindian treasures found in the early 20th century, West of China on the Silk routes (Xianjiang Province, Tajikistan, Afghanistan) where Buddhic motives were represented with a typically soft Graeco-Roman touch.
		I was amazed by the whole museum but here there was something really familiar and moving to me.

		For the purposes of this essay, this means that I will not trace the doctrinal history of early Buddhism as elaborated by the clerical establishment but will focus instead on the "creative misunderstanding" of Buddhism developed from below.
