Folk tales of Sind and Guzarat, Author’s Preface., sentence 24

The beautifully coloured and perfectly glazed tiles and pottery of Hala bear testimony to an art lost to the present generation of Sindhis; whilst the ornamented graves and temples which can still be seen in many parts of the Province, reveal the existence in the past of a God-fearing people with well developed notions of sculpture and architecture.

Who acts: tiles, God · What happens: glaze, bear, lose, ornament, see, reveal · To what, where: testimony, art, ornamented graves, many parts, existence, past
