Equally good is the image of the nameless Yakshī on a pillar removed from the *stūpa*, and found by Cunningham at Batanmārā, a village near Bharhut. I am not sure that this is not the best of the series. The modelling would do credit to any sculptor, and the execution of all details is perfect. At Sānchī the reliefs are more refined than those of Bharhut, but I doubt if any of the larger sculptures are as good as the best Bharhut Yakshīs.
