The dwarf in the Atlas pose may be noticed in Plate XXI, Fig. A. The seven-headed Nāga or cobra shown in Plate XX, Fig. B, is a good example of an art form extremely common in Ceylon, and usually well sculptured; the number of heads varies, nine being the maximum. - [Previous: c9.s2.101](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.101) - [Next: c9.s2.103](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.103) - [Up: c9.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2) ## Cites (1) - [Sāñcī](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.sanchi) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.102](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.102) · Pramāṇa
