In the vicinity of Termez an ancient Buddhist monastery, comprising a number of artistically decorated caves and various constructions of the pre-Christian and Christian times have come to light. At Termez itself, excavations revealed a colossal palace with richly ornamented stairways, decorative medallions, and fantastic stucco work in the side pavilions which is ‘a marvel of Oriental art’. Fuller notices of this material are yet awaited.
