LION-CAPITAL OF NANDANGARH :—This capital consists of a sejant lion, a round drum, decorated with a row of *Haṃsas*, like that on the Rāmpurwā lion-capital and finally, an inverted lotus below. On the upper portion of the inverted petals is a cable design and on the lower a double zone of reel-and-cord. The figure of the lion is vigorous and full of dynamic strength, still marked by a somewhat stylised expression. [Fig. 46 d].
