The original construction of the Amarāvatī \*stūpa\* goes back to the same times, and a few examples of the ancient sculptures survive, obviously related to the art of Bharhut and the earliest cave-temples of the west, and in some cases showing affinity with that of Mathurā. The best is the slab from Amarāvatī, of uncertain date, representing a man with his hand on the head of a boy (Fig. 53), which is good work. - [Previous: c9.s2.94](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.94) - [Next: c9.s2.96](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.96) - [Up: c9.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2) ## Cites (1) - [Bharhut](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.bharhut) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.95](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.95) · Pramāṇa
