A few other more or less artistic Indian seals are recorded, some of which were excavated from \*stūpas\* in Afghanistan. One of the most remarkable specimens of such seals is that figured in \*Ariana Antiqua\*, Pl. I, 7, an oval sard engraved with two figures squatted in the Indian manner, and interpreted as Krishna and Rādhā, but more likely to be Buddhist. Several Indian gems, including three with representations of the Indian humped bull or cow, have been described and engraved by Raspe.⁴
