No. 1 is taken from the Mathura inscriptions of Chandra Gupta II. The style has been fully described in the last chapter.³ No. 2 is derived from the Mathura inscriptions of Kumāra Gupta, dated in the (Gupta) years 113 and 135. It is in the same style as no. 1, but a few new forms are seen. The head-mark is a solid triangle and in some cases the foot-mark is also observable. No. 4 is taken from the Indor plate of Skanda Gupta, dated in the (Gupta) year 146. It represents the copper-plate style of Mathura. Here the head-mark is a simple line and no foot-mark is seen. No. 6 is derived from the Kura stone inscription of Toramāṇa. It shows the developed forms of the Gupta period. The head-mark is a small triangle but no foot-mark is seen.
