THE TREASURES OF ANCIENT TAXILA The Indo-Parthian city of Taxila in the north west of India was attached and destroyed by the Kushans about the year AD60. In recent years Sir John Marshall has done invaluable work there, and we illustrate a corner of the excavations on the Bhir Mound, showing a narrow and winding by-lane and the remains of houses dating from the 3rd and 4th centuries BC on each side of it. In the houses were found many interesting antiquities, including coins of Alexander himself. The inset shows one of the finds: a bracelet of open gold work, with cloisons inlaid with garnets and turquoise.
