Originally published in German in 1978, this work contains the first systematic, typological study and analysis of above-ground funerary structures in the subcontinent, comprising some fifty cemeteries of varying size, with a total of approximately 2000 monuments.
The Chaukhandi tombs render an original and independent contribution to Islamic sepulchral architecture and ornamental sculpture. Found in numerous rural cemeteries of southern Pakistan in the Sind and Baluchistan regions, the Chaukhandi tombs are unique in the whole Islamic world.
