A finely executed bas-relief, which once decorated a doorway and exhibits artistic lotus and vine patterns, besides a picture of an elephant worshipping a *stūpa*, is quite in the Mathurā style, and may be assigned with some confidence to the first century of the Christian era.¹ The style of the Sārnāth works is so closely related to that of Mathurā that illustrations may be dispensed with.
