"He (Henry Cousens) noticed that the nose of the Adinatha image had been broken, and was “replaced by a gold one.” The Muhammadans were known to cut off the noses of images. He saw many “undoubtedly old images in the cells of the corridors with particularly flat noses.” On examination he noted that the noses had been refashioned into the face, ..to get sufficient protuberance for the new ones; they might be termed countersunk noses. The lips too, which are, as a rule, prominent, are in these, flattened and mis-shapened. The old simhasanas (old marble image-seats), also, have been woefully mutilated; and, from the fact that none of them is in its original position, it would appear that whole shrines were pulled down (Cousens 1931: 76)."
