As in sculpture, so in terracotta, Gupta art had evolved a national style of wide distribution. For instance, the plaque from the Stūpa of Mirpur Khas in Sind shows a standing male figure identical in its modelling and decoration, hair-dressing and drapery, with the figurines of Madhyadeśa or north India. It holds a small lotus flower in right hand and wears a short loincloth with painted stripes.
