Bimaran Reliquary, from stupa 2 at Bimaran, Gandhara (Afghanistan). The inscription on the steatite casket in which the reliquary was kept, states that it contained some of the bones of the Buddha; when found in the 19th century, the bones were missing, but there were burnt pearls, beads of precious and semi-precious stones and four coins, which date the reliquary to about 50 CE. In the central arch the Buddha, with two figures facing him on either side.OA 1900.2-9.1
