Art. XVIII.—Some Buddhist Bronzes, and Relics of Buddha

The bronze images and fragments figured in the accompanying plates are a few specimens taken from a large collection now lying at Bezwada, all of which were found, some time before the year 1870, by some labourers employed under the Public Works Department of the Madras Presidency while excavating a canal at a place called Buddhapād, or Buddhavāni, about 20 miles westwards from the right bank of the river Kṛiṇhnā, and 30 miles from the nearest mouth of its delta
