Naqvi in A Study of Buddhist Medicine and Surgery in Gandhara 2011: 46 also mentions glass tiles found at the Dharmarajika Stupa, Taxila. He presumes they are imported.Kathleen Longwaters
Sent from my iPadIn the northern Indic regions of what is now Pakistan and Afghanistan, there was a substantial number of glass objects found at Begram and some blue glass blocks (paving tiles?) around the stupa at Butkara I in Swat. The Begram material is probably imported but the big blocks of blue glass at Butkara I may have been produced locally.The Begram material is published in the J. Hackin: Memoires de la Delegation Archeologique Francaise en Afghanistan, Recherches Arceologiques a Begram Chantier No. 2 (1937), Text and Planches (2 vols) and Nouvelles Recherches Archeologiques a Begram (ancienne Kapici) (1939-1940) Text and Planches (2 books).I am not sure of the blue glass from Butkara I was ever published.John C.
