WORKS FROM THE KABUL MUSEUM
Because of the nature of this site, the visual resources have been organized according to material, rather than subject matter. The text included with the images are based on field notes taken by John and Susan Huntington in 1970 and primarily represent museum attributions that were copied directly from information provided on the museum labels. When attributions have been changed by the editor, usually because a different interpretation has already been widely accepted by the scholarly community, a note referring to the museum attribution has been included at the bottom.
