Strict chronological arrangement being impracticable, the selected objects are classified, chiefly with regard to material, under the heads of (1) coinage; (2) gems, seals, and jade; (3) jewellery; (4) reliquaries and gold images; (5) silver \*paterae\* and bowls; (6) copper vessels; (7) wood-carving; (8) ivories; (9) terra-cottas and clay figures. Merely a small selection of specially interesting artistic works is offered, no attempt being made to discuss generally the industrial arts. - [Previous: c15.s8.t2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c15.s8.t2.14) - [Next: c16.s1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c16.s1.1) - [Up: c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c16.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c16.1) · Pramāṇa
