It is the location of the discovery of an important piece of Gandharan Buddhist art, the Muhammad Nari Stele. It is among the finest examples of this variety of Stele, and is significant, as described by French historian Alfred Foucher for its purportedly novel showing of an iconic physical Buddha as compared to earlier aniconic depictions.^[3] This view has come into controversy in recent years, being described as potentially colonialist, ascribing the accomplishments of an Asian artistic tradition to Greek influence through Alexander the Great.^[4]
