ABOUT THIS: Among the private collections of Indian art in the country that of the late Sir Cowasji jchangir, Bart., a well-known patron of artistic activities is undoubtedly one of the most notable. Private collections, however, are not available as a rule to the public for study or inspec-tion. Accordingly the authorities of the Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay, requested Sir Cowasji jehangir, who was himself a member of the Board of Trustees, to permit an exhibition of some of his finest sculptures and paintings and to this proposal he readily acceded. The exhibition consisting of miniature paintings of various schools, South Indian bronzes and Gandhara stone and stucco sculptures was held in the new Exhibition Hall of the Museum, from 3rd March, 1962 to z oth April, 1962, and was visited by local collectors, scholars and members of the public. Though in failing health Sir Cowasji himself attended the exhibition on several occasions and discussed the project of publishing a Catalogue of selected exhibits which he himself agreed to finance and make available on a no profit basis. It is a matter of deep regret that he did not live to see the completion of this work in which he took keen interest. It is hoped, however, that it will prove a useful contribution to the study of some aspects of Indian art and at the same time be a worthy tribute to Sir Cowasji Jehangir's connois-seurship. To the Dowager Lady Jehangir, the Trustees of the Museum arc deeply indebted for affording all possible help to complete and print this publication. The Trustees also desire to thank those who have kindly loaned some of the colour
