but in the present state of knowledge anything like accurate chronological classification of the sculptures of Ceylon is unattainable. The brief discussion of the subject which limits of space permit me will be arranged under two headings, Early and Mediaeval; the former comprising everything up to about A.

Although the Early sculpture will be treated in this chapter for convenience, very little of it can be assigned with any confidence to the chronological limits of the Indian works described above.
