**The Mathura School of Sculpture**—in relation to Buddhist images may be taken as the second phase of the development in Buddhist art. Vogel has characterized the mixed character of this school 'in which we find on the one hand a direct continuation of the old Indian art of Barahut (Bharaut) and Sanchi and on the other hand the classical influence derived from Gandhara .” ‘This school also produced numerous Buddha and Bodhisattava images, the image of Kubera, the scenes depicting the four principal and the four minor scenes of Buddh’s life generally, including other scenes also. The Yakṣas and the Nāgas which are the common property of the Hindus and the Buddhists, are to be frequently met with in this art.’
