# Architectural fragment

This object is a section of an architrave or lintel from a ceremonial gateway (torana). It is possible that it belonged to a Jain stupa, of which one is known to have been built at Mathura, but more probably it belonged to a Buddhist stupa, (shrine) or monastery site.

- **Kind:** artefact
- **Date:** 100–200 CE
