Seals, Sealings and Tokens from Gandhara (Monographien zur Indischen Archaologie, Kunst und Philologie)

Ancient seals say much about people, their names, preferred styles and self-esteem. Over many decades, Aman ur Rahman has built a large collection of seals from North-Western Pakistan, which were produced during Hellenistic times up to the Guptas. He classifies them and explains their pictorial content, while Harry Falk, a professor of Indology at Berlin, reads all epigraphs in Kharosthi and Brahmi and provides an introduction on the scribal aspects.
