c8.89

Broadly spread on the flat ground, the figures are rhythmically distributed. The modelling has a melting quality. (See also Bachhofer, op. cit., Pl. 71, also of the first century B.C.) This, together with an obtusely curved outline, produces an impression of heaviness, and these features remain peculiar to the school of Mathurā till the middle of the second century A.D.
