During a police raid on a house in the Yakatoot area of Peshawar city, a group of more than one hundred antiquities consisted of sculptures both in stone and stucco, coins, metal objects, etc. were seized by the law enforcing agency which were later on handed over to the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Among these antiquities some beautiful panels representing fresco paintings were also moved to the Directorate of Archaeology where they were lying in the reserve collection of the Directorate before this publication. These antiquities do not come from legal excavations, therefore, their exact provenance, context and date pose problems. Thus, the present paper mainly focuses on their acquisition history, provenance and the period of their execution.
