‘It may be a vain speculation, but it seems impossible to look at this wood-cut (no. 149), and not to be struck with its resemblance to the temples of southern Babylonia. The same division into storeys with their cells; the backward position of the temple itself; the panelled or pilastered basement, all these points of resemblance, it seems difficult to regard as purely accidental.’—(Fergusson: *Ind. and East. Arch.*, pp. 269–270.)
