-This handbook has been written entirely for the use of residents in Peshawar and other visitors to the Peshawar Museum. It does not claim to be a catalogue of the sculptures; but is merely a popular guide book that shall explain the sculptures to those on the spot and, it is hoped, make them more interesting. Controversial matters have not been altogether excluded, for it has been felt that possibly visitors would like to know the nature of the problems involved in the study of this school of art; but tedious archaeological arguments have been avoided, and the specialist will observe that such new theories as are advanced here and there are merely stated rather than developed. The author hopes, however, that all controversial points have been duly indicated as such. A word as to the arrangement of the sculptures may be appropriate. Each of the larger collections has been sub-divided into groups according to subjects, and these groups arranged in the cases in systematic sequence. All the sculptures in the Museum, furthermore, have been numbered consecutively, beginning in the righthand gallery upstairs. It is hoped that this classification will facilitate the study of the collections. It contains a plan of excavations and five photographic plates to delineate the subject properly.

Harold Hargreaves was a British Indian archaeologist who served as Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) from 1928 to 1931. Hargreaves specialized in Buddhist iconography and served as headmaster of the Government High School in Amritsar before joining the Archaeological Survey of India. Between 1910 and 1912, Hargreaves officiated as Superintendent of the Frontier Circle when the then Superintendent, Buddhist scholar Aurel Stein had been to England on deputation.
