c13.s3.1

The Museum at Mathura though rich in sculptures of the Kuṣāṇa period, still has some specimens of the Gupta age which are of excellent artistic merit. The famous standing Buddha of the 5th century A.D. is a well-known example as representing a quality of art unachieved by other less fortunate centres. It is proposed through this Note to introduce a group of Mukha-liṅgas of the Gupta period found at Mathura.
