The clay-figurines of Rājghāt near Banaras exhibited in the Bharat Kala Bhavan are specially attractive. A small plaque showing a girl on the swing under an *aśoka* tree with her scarf fluttering on the sides is a very charming specimen of Gupta art. The subject and the pose recall the swinging lady Irandatī in one of the paintings at Ajanta⁶.
