- Abstract
The Buddhist gallery of Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum (S.S.A.Q) Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, University of Peshawar, houses a good collection of Buddhist sculptures and relief panels which have been discovered at the course of scientific excavations at various Buddhist sites of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Most of these objects came from the Swat valley and can be easily recognized due to its execution in green and blue schist/phyllite stone. The preliminary excavation reports of some of the excavated sites include only selected objects and detail study of these sites is still awaited. But identification of some of the sculptress published in these preliminary reports pose problems. The present paper not only deals with the re-interpretation of some of these selected relief panels but some other panels are also included here which have iconographical significance and are worthy to be shared with scholars working on the Buddhist art of Gandhara.
