Thus Grünwedel and Burgess hold that ‘the Persian style, which the Achaemenids employed in their buildings at Susa and Persepolis, has inherited West Asian forms in its constructive as well as in its decorative features. This Persian style, which shows many peculiarities, is unfortunately represented only by a few monuments upon which it is almost impossible to pronounce judgment. But undoubtedly its elements may again be recognized in the buildings of Asoka’s day and of the older Indian style, dependent on that of Asoka, as grafted upon the native wooden style.’
