APPENDIX M
DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF ANTIQUES BROUGHT
FROM KHOTAN
AND PRESENTED BY H. I. HARDING, Esq.
CHINESE CONSULAR SERVICE
BY
F. H. ANDREWS, o.b.e.
[The collection of antiquities here described was obtained from Badruddin Khān, of Khotan, by Mr. H. I.
Harding, H.B.M.'s late Vice-Consul, Kashgar, and kindly presented by him on his passage through Kashmir in
September, 1923, for inclusion in the Indian Government's Museum of Central-Asian Antiquities, New Delhi.
A number of interesting fresco panels, which were also presented by Mr. Harding, have since been set up by
Mr. Andrews at the Museum, New Delhi, and will be separately catalogued with other mural paintings.
No definite information is available as to the provenance of the antiques here described. But it appears
probable that they were brought to Khotan as a result of digging which villagers carried on at some ruins in the
desert area covered with tamarisk-cones NE. of Domoko.—A. Stein.]
