At Mahāsthāna (Bogra district) some beautiful terracotta plaques, toy figurines, animals and ornamental bricks associated with the late Gupta art were found. A remarkable find was fragmentary pot-sherd¹ bearing in low relief a scene in which a man riding in a chariot drawn by four horses is depicted as discharging an arrow at a herd of deer and a centaur, which recalls to mind the well-known Śakuntalā plaque from Bhita.²
