After a careful examination of several scores of specimens at Bhuvaneśvara, Puri and the Behar district, I can compare it with nothing so close as a Grecian \*amphora\*. The body, the neck, and the ornamentation of this vessel, appear to be pretty near copies of European models. - [Previous: v1.c8.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.mitra-1875.v1.c8.36) - [Next: v1.c8.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.mitra-1875.v1.c8.38) - [Up: v1.c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.mitra-1875.v1.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.mitra-1875.v1.c8.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.mitra-1875.v1.c8.37) · Pramāṇa
