摘要:he Markha Valley is located in Ladakh, south of Leh, and is parallel to the Indus. The valley has a rich architectural heri- tage dating mainly from the 10 th century onwards. The val- ley's eponymous village, the most important in size, bears important archaeological remains. At the foot of the former palace is a group of chortens, among which one has a collapsed wall (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). Through it, one can appreciate the interior of the chorten. It consists in a room decorated by murals, in the middle of which is placed a finely carved column 3 . The general description of this chorten, of its sur- roundings, as well as an analysis of its woodcarvings have already been covered in previous publications 4 . The purpose of the present paper is to provide a more detailed account of the chorten's murals and of the inscriptions written on them
